SIPTU Seeks Labour Court Intervention In Lagan Brick Dispute
SIPTU is to seek the intervention of the Labour Court in a dispute concerning the payment of redundancy terms at the Lagan Brick manufacturing plant in Kingscourt, county Cavan.
The union's move follows the breakdown of talks with Lagan Brick management at the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) without agreement on redundancy terms for 25 SIPTU members employed at the manufacturing plant.
Both sides were presented with a report, carried out by an independent assessor appointed by the LRC, which examined the company’s financial position and the future viability of the Kingscourt facility. This report formed the basis of discussions at the LRC conciliation conference.
SIPTU Organiser, John Regan, said: "While there was progress made on some issues on the core issue of redundancy terms there remains a large gap between the parties. The conference broke down with the union seeking a referral of the dispute to the Labour Court to consider all outstanding issues."
The LRC confirmed that the company was considering its position on attending the Labour Court and a reply is expected by next Monday, 10th February.
