Workers tightlipped as redundancy news breaks

Workers at AIB were remaining tightlipped at their biggest branch in Cork on the South Mall yesterday.

Despite being asked on numerous occasions for their reaction to the announcement of 2,500 job losses in the bank where they work, all the workers declined to comment.

A spokesperson for the IBOA explained the bank workers were afraid to talk to the media following a case a few years ago when an employee was on the receiving end of an action from a different bank after commenting on a redundancy announcement.
