An IT company in Cork has asked a number of its workers to relocate to a facility in the UK after the loss of a customer services contract.

The Communications Workers Union is meeting today with Postbank management to find out why the bank is closing its Irish operations.

THE union representing postal workers who will operate the new postcode system from the end of 2011 has claimed it will not improve mail delivery to the customer and is a waste of money.

INDUSTRIAL action is brewing at BT Ireland as the company refuses to recognise the right of its staff to trade union representation.
