I do not want to argue with Ms King, but the point employers were trying to make was this would not apply solely to new employees who might be on banded hours contracts. Rather, it would refer to everyone. That is a major issue for a large factory employing 800 people. The proposal states that each employer shall display, on a weekly or monthly basis in a prominent position or positions a notice or notices in the form and manner such as the notice is reasonably likely to be understood by the workers concerned. There are 800 workers in Bausch & Lomb in Waterford and some employers asked how such a business could display everyone's working hours. The points were made to us as a committee.
