the catering jlc formulate pays and health planning of workers in the profession which , if approve by the work court , legally binds employers to raise certain price prices and provide circumstances of employment . however , the qsfa now contended that the jlc has no powers to make such a legally binding provision , as chapter 15 of the document states that the sole and absolute power to have laws is vested in the seanad , and no other authority has power to made laws for the state . it also argued that the existence of the guaranteed hour and 25 other pieces of legislation promoting employees ' rights means that there is no need for jlcs . the leader of the qsfa , brian hope , warned that the crisis would lead to working losses and closures .
