EAST GALWAY DAIRY CO-OP DISPUTE NEARS RESOLUTION
Date Published: 13-Aug-2007
Proposals are being put before staff at an East Galway dairy co-op today [Mon 13/8] in a bid to resolve an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions.
The proposals were drawn up at meetings held last week between SIPTU Galway representatives and management of Arrabawn Co-Op’s Kilconnell plant.
SIPTU officials say the meetings were successful and a set of proposals will go before approximately 20 SIPTU members employed at Arrabawn to vote on this week.
They believe the new proposals will avert official industrial action at the co-op.
