the catering jlc formulates pay and tenure proposals of personnel in the industry which , if authorised by the trade review , legally permits them to pay appropriate wage rates and certain conditions of employment . however , the qsfa now contends that the jlc has no right to make such a legally binding law , as section 15 of the constitution states that the sole and exclusive authority to write laws is vested in the oireachtas , and no other authority has power to make laws for the employee . it also argued that the occurrence of the minimum 20 and 25 other pieces of statutory protecting laborers ' liberty guarantees that there is no need for jlcs . the chairman of the qsfa , peter wade , warned that the situation would lead to job losses and closures .
