Cape Clear Ferry to be hit by March 30th stoppage

Date Released: 24 Mar 2009

The Naomh Ciaran II Ferry which travels between Baltimore and Cape Clear will be among the employments hit by ICTU protest on March 30th. SIPTU Sectoral Organiser Eddie Mullins said in a statement today, “we wish to advise the general public, that our members, employed on the Naomh Ciaran II, will withdraw their services from 08.00 hrs on Monday March 30th, 2009 and return to work at 17.00 hrs on the same day.

“This action is being undertaken, as a result of management’s refusal to honour the terms of Towards 2016, Review and Transitional Agreement 2008-2009, and specifically because of management’s stated intention to unilaterally cut salaries by approximately 18 per cent, along with other cuts to contracted terms and conditions.

“We have tried on a number of occasions to arrange meetings, and to date, we have not even received the courtesy of a reply from the company.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this action may have on the public.”
