Threat of action over Chorus job cut plans

A UNION representing 60 workers has threatened industrial action over plans by multi-channel TV provider ntl-Chorus to reduce its workforce.

The company is planning major restructuring and SIPTU has claimed that it is trying to force its workers out and employ more contract labour in their place.

Following ntl-Chorus’ merger with UPC, the union met management in July to discuss restructuring and redundancy proposals.
