Strike action at Cadbury’s suspended

SIPTU and Unite members suspended their strike action at the Cadbury’s production plant in Coolock, Dublin 5, on Friday, 4th March, to facilitate discussion and a ballot on proposals aimed at resolving a dispute concerning outsourcing at the company.

SIPTU Sector Organiser, John Dunne, said: “Following discussions the Workplace Relations Commission put forward proposals which achieve cost savings at the company but do not involve the outsourcing of jobs. On the basis that outsourcing is now off the table, SIPTU and Unite members have decided to suspend their strike action.

“SIPTU and UNITE members are discussing the proposals and will then proceed to vote on them.”
