SIPTU SERVES STRIKE ACTION ON COCA COLA TO SAVE TUAM JOBS

Date Published: 20-Aug-2009

Trade union, SIPTU, has served strike notice on Coca Cola Ireland in a bid to save 27 jobs at the Tuam distribution centre.

The company plans to transfer and outsource 130 jobs at distribution centres across the country.

The staff at the Tuam centre at the Galway road just outside the town work as drivers and distribution staff.

SIPTU says its members voted by a majority for the action after a meeting at the Labour Relations Commission yesterday.
