SIPTU members have suspended scheduled strike action at the Kerry Group plants in Charleville, County Cork, following an agreement by management to attend a Labour Court hearing concerning the dispute at the company. SIPTU Organiser, Terry Bryan, said: “Yesterday (Wednesday, 15th February) evening the company confirmed that it would attend a Labour Court hearing in respect of the current dispute at its plants in Charleville. “The company has further agreed to lift the notice of lay-off and protective notice that was issued to employees last week. SIPTU representatives have also confirmed they will attend the Labour Court hearing and have agreed to suspend a planned 24-hour work stoppage at the plants on Friday (17th February).” The dispute at the plants in Charleville, County Cork, has already resulted in a series of 24-hour work stoppages in recent weeks.
