the labour jlc formulates pay and conditions recommendations of labour in the industry which , if approved by the job court , legally binds employers to paid certain hourly rates and provision conditions of employed . nevertheless , the qsfa now contends that the jlc has no power to make such a legal binding provision , as chapter 15 of the legislation states that the independent and unlimited responsibility to make policies is vested in the oireachtas , and no other authority has power to make laws for the state . it initially argued that the existence of the minimum wage and 25 other pieces of legislation protecting laborers ' rights means that there is no provision for jlcs . the chairperson of the qsfa , john morrison , warns that the circumstances could result to job casualties and closures .
