LAB Court says:
1 - Pay rises up 15.6 to Sep 2020 (add 2.5% for long serving drivers)
2 - TD should not increase duty from 9 to 9.5 hours
3 - New entrant pay should be reviewed within 18 months of acceptance
4 - Non cost issues to go WRC or LAB Court if no agreement
5 - Joint review of Pay/Conditions of tram drivers accross Europe
6 - No 2016 bonus but 750 payment if accepted
7 - 10% cut, sick pay etc restord incl arrears if accepted

TD not going to make comment until end of week.

SIPTU to begin consolation with members through general meetings followed by ballot. Does that suggest they are going over shop stewards heads as they sort of indicated a while ago they would discuss with drivers and committee separately. The pay is over 4 years the other grads is for 3 years and the deal could be considered slightly worse on pay terms than the WRC one but productivity might clinch it.

18.7% (2016-2019) v 18.3% (2016-2020 + some lost pay, less productivity). Still just under 5% off the muted 23% drivers wanted.

Looks like this weeks action also called off or will be.
