the manufacturing jlc finalizes wage and conditions proposals of workers in the uk which , if approved by the labour court , legally holds companies to pay certain pay rates and provide provisions of occupation . consequently , the qsfa now contends that the jlc has no competence to make such a legally applicable provision , as section 15 of the bill states that the sole and ultimate power to make laws is vested in the oireachtas , and no other authority has power to make laws for the company . it also argued that the existence of the minimum wage and 25 other pieces of legislation protecting employees ' souls means that there is no justification for jlcs . the president of the qsfa , john cope , announced that the situation will contribute to job damage and closings .
