MICHAEL D HIGGINS CALLS FOR RESOLUTION TO EYE CINEMA STRIKE ACTION

Date Published: 17-Sep-2007

Galway West TD Michael D Higgins is calling for talks between management and staff at the Eye Cinema to resolve this weekend’s threatened strike action.

16 SIPTU members are due to picket outside the cinema on Saturday in a row over pay and conditions.

SIPTU claims management have failed to respond to requests for a meeting and has concerns over a recent dismissal.

But management are vehemently denying any unfair treatment of staff

Now, Deputy Higgins is urging management to enter talks with employees and says it would be a pity if strike action goes ahead
