Angry IFI workers consider sit-in protest
Workers and those already laid off will meet this afternoon to discuss taking militant action after the Government and shareholder partner ICI refused to increase a €24.4 million package for staff at IFI’s plants in Arklow and Marino Point, Cobh.
A spokesman for Tánaiste Mary Harney said last night the shareholders had made it clear to union representatives that the non-statutory redundancy package for 400 workers at the two plants wouldn’t be increased.
