SIPTU members employed by Bord na Móna Recycling, have served notice of a two-day strike action which will stop the company’s domestic waste collection services on 2nd and 3rd April.
In a statement SIPTU Divisional Organiser, Adrian Kane, said:
“The management of Bord na Móna Recycling have carried out a plan to privatise the company behind the backs of its workforce. No legally sound guarantees have been provided to our members that their hard fought for terms and conditions of employment will be maintained by a new employer.
He added:
“Our members have been forced to take this course of action. They are calling upon the loyal customer base of Bord na Móna Recycling to support them in this action, as protecting the manner in which the company operates will ensure that they will not be victim to massive increases in bin charges and ensure the service maintains its record of adherence to the highest standards of environmental legislation.”
The strike will impact Bord na Móna Recycling domestic waste collection services in counties Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Limerick, Louth, Offaly, Meath, Tipperary, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow.
