Bord Na Móna workers seek pay rise

Members of the Bord na Móna Group of Unions have called on the highly profitable company to implement a proposed pay rise of 3.5% and end its attacks on their terms and conditions of employment.

The call for the implementation of the long outstanding pay rise emerged from general meetings of workers in Tullamore, county Offaly, on the 6th, 7th and 8th of January.

Bord na Móna Group of Unions Secretary and SIPTU Organiser, John Regan, said: “The general meetings were attended by over 80% of members of the Group of Unions. Workers at these meetings mandated their union representatives to insist the company delivers on a 3.5% pay increase that has been outstanding for five years, and end its attempts to undermine their terms of employment."

He added: “Over the 75 years of this semi-state company's existence many organisational changes have been successfully introduced by management engaging fully with workers and their representatives. That management has now adopted a draconian approach to negotiations with workers is extremely unhelpful."
