the catering jlc formulates pay and conditions schemes of workers in the industry this , if sanctioned by the labour court , formally binds employers to reduce certain wage standards and provide conditions of employed . however , the qsfa now acknowledges that the jlc has no right to make such a legally binding provision , as paragraph 15 of the convention states that the only and exclusively jurisdiction to enforce laws is vested in the seanad , and no other authority has power to make laws for the state . it had stated that the existence of the minimal wage and 25 other pieces of legislation protecting employees ' rights means that there is no need for jlcs . the chairman of the qsfa , john love , stated that the situation likely lead to job cuts and cutbacks .
