SIPTU members and management in Shannon Aerospace, Co. Clare, met on Tuesday (25^th February) at the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) to begin talks concerning a dispute involving the company’s pension scheme.

SIPTU Organiser, Tony Carroll said: “A schedule of talks has been agreed between union representatives and management. All issues concerning the pension scheme at the company will be discussed during this talks process which is scheduled to conclude in four to six weeks time.”

In early February, SIPTU members at Shannon Aerospace voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action to protect their pension entitlements. However, all industrial action has been suspended while the talks process is ongoing.
