Hopes high for an end to dispute
The employees, who are affiliated to SIPTU, and who form the majority of the 250-strong workforce of the aircraft maintenance company, took industrial action late last week after their company bosses tried to introduce new arrangements for their pension scheme.
A large proportion of staff at the SIFCO aircraft turbine maintenance plants downed tools at two plants in Cork. The factories affected are at Blackrock and Carrigtwohill.
