SIPTU vote puts 600-job Braun plant at risk

WORKERS at one of the south-east’s largest employers, the Braun Oral-B plant in Carlow, have voted for industrial action in a move which could threaten up to 600 jobs at the company.

SIPTU members voted by 277 to 76 for the action.

Informed local sources fear that if action is taken, it could lead to the closure of Carlow's largest plant.
