Dispute over pensions at Kerry plant hits impasse

A DISPUTE about a staff pension scheme at the Liebherr crane factory in Killarney, Co Kerry, remains deadlocked following the breakdown of talks at the Labour Relations Commission (LRC).

SIPTU has already staged two work stoppages at the 450-job plant and has a continuing overtime ban in place.

SIPTU official Donal Tobin yesterday said that no further action was planned, at present.
