Trade union members employed at the Cork plant of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly have welcomed a recommendation from the Labour Court stating that their employer should allow them the right to collective representation by their union during workplace disputes.

Siptu sector organiser Andrea Cleere said that Eli Lilly, based in Kinsale, was denying members of the union the right to be supported by Siptu.
