Dairygold dispute could escalate, warns SIPTU

SIPTU yesterday warned Dairygold that the dispute in a Co Cork milk powder plant will escalate to involve “the whole company” unless resolution is found.

Up to 35 workers at the facility in Mallow spent a second day on strike yesterday in a row over rosters, pay and fears of redundancies.

A spokesperson at the Mallow branch of SIPTU said there had been "no change" in the dispute and that there had been no contact from the company.
