SIPTU members in Glen Dimplex plant in Newry suspend industrial action

SIPTU members at the Glen Dimplex manufacturing plant in Newry, County Down, have decided to suspend their industrial action at the company from Monday (12th September) to allow meaningful discussions with management concerning a pay increase for workers. SIPTU Organiser, Denis Sheridan, said: “After four weeks of a work-to-rule campaign and two 24-hour work stoppages, our members have decided to suspend their industrial action to allow talks with management concerning a pay rise every chance of success.” SIPTU Shop Steward, Alan Clark, said: “Failure to reach an agreement on a satisfactory pay rise will leave the workers with no alternative but to re-engage in industrial action.”
