24-hour strike by technicians 'unlawful' - ESB

ESB Networks has described as "unlawful" a 24-hour strike by some network technicians belonging to the Independent Workers Union.The union, which is not recognised by the ESB, has said the dispute centres on a lack of consultation over work to be outsourced to the private sector.

The Independent Workers Union claims to represent up to 500 of the 1,500 network technicians employed by ESB Networks. ESB Networks insists the IWU action is unlawful, but did not mount a legal challenge before the situation escalated to a strike.

Bravo. Needs voice

Who are the ESB to not recognise a union if that union are the choice of the workers? As long as that union abides by the legal framework why would they not be recognised? Question is why so many workers felt the need to go to another union... ESB

Delighted they have a new union. The old ones are useless

Nostalgia
