Agreement provides for ‘very significant’ levels of change and job losses but should provide ‘certainty’ for more than 400 workers

All three ballots produced results in favour of acceptance with Siptu, which has the largest membership at the company and whose members stand to be most impacted by the provision in the deal for a further 150 job losses, declaring a two-to one-margin in favour of acceptance. “This has been a really, really difficult time for people who have been asked to take on a very significant amount of change to the way they work and accept a very significant number of redundancies but the unions have worked hard to obtain the best deal possible for their members in the circumstances and I think that is reflected in the results of the ballot,” said senior Siptu official Adrian Kane.

Core rates of pay are understood to have been preserved, however, for future entrants as well as current staff and some of the measures put forward by the company in its rescue plan will not now be adopted.
