the catering jlc formulates pay and conditions proposals of employees in the company thus , if approved by the labour review , legally binds employers to pay certain wage rates and supplied conditions of employment . however , the qsfa now contends that the jlc has no need to make such a legally binding provision , as section 15 of the constitution states that the sole and exclusive authority to make laws is vested in the oireachtas , and no other authority has power to make laws for the state . it also argued that the existence of the minimum standard and 25 other elements of legislation protected employees ' rights means that there is no need for jlcs . the chairman of the qsfa , john cope , claimed that the situation would leads to job damage and shutdown .
