LRC set to intervene in row that left ATMs empty

THE Labour Relations Commission is expected to intervene today in the dispute which left over 200 ATMs short of cash over the holiday weekend.

The row between Brinks Allied and SIPTU affected non-branch ATMs belonging to AIB, Ulster Bank or Bank of Ireland on the east coast of the country.

The machines were not replenished on Friday and the union claimed that cash couriers faced the threat of not being paid unless they agreed to use new vehicles and procedures that have yet to undergo safety audits.
