Staff claim Brinks set to leave Ireland

CASH-IN-TRANSIT staff due to go on strike today fear their employers have refused to end the dispute to pave the way to pull out of the security business in Ireland.

Security staff at Brinks Allied, who had no-one available to comment on the dispute yesterday, are due to walk out today and place pickets on the company headquarters.

The strike action, still confined to the east of the country, is expected to lead to large numbers of machines without any cash. It has so far had limited impact as supervisory staff continued to stock up machines but, as SIPTU members, they are not expected to cross the picket line.
