ICTU appeals to ESB unions to hold off on strike

UNIONS at ESB are expected to hold off on an all-out strike following a request from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU).

Although one union has already served notice of strike from mid-July, the group of unions is expected to react favourably to the ICTU request.

ICTU general secretary David Beggs has pledged to raise unions' concerns with the Government over the next few weeks.
