Labour Court urges deal on bonuses for Intel work

The Labour Court has urged both sides in a row over €25m completion bonus payments for work being carried out at Intel’s Leixlip plant in Co Kildare to reach agreement.

In its recommendation on the row, the Labour Court has urged one of the country’s largest unions, the Technical, Engineering, and Electrical Union (TEEU) and the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) to make “a sustained and final effort” to reach a deal over the union’s €25m claim for bonus payments for members’ work

The Intel project is one of the largest construction projects in the country and, at its peak, employed up to 5,000 people.
