Labour Court ruling clears way for normal post

THE way was finally cleared for a full resumption of postal services last night as both sides in the postal dispute accepted a Labour Court recommendation aimed at restoring services to the public as soon as possible.

The Labour Court ruling also clears the way for substantive Labour Relations Commission (LRC) talks - currently suspended - to recommence on Monday week.

LRC talks were stalled on Tuesday after two days of discussions failed to see agreement on overtime payments required to clear a massive backlog in the mail system.
