Staff demand Ulster Bank return to talks with IBOA

Members of the bank workers' union IBOA voted today in favour of a resumption of talks on pay and pensions with the management of Ulster Bank Group.

The bank brought conciliation efforts to a premature halt just over a week ago when it told independent mediator, Kieran Mulvey, that it intended to put its proposals to staff without the agreement of their unions, IBOA and SIPTU.
