Bulmers unions set to ballot for strike

BULMERS workers in Clonmel mandated their unions to ballot for strike action if the company continues to operate a four-cycle shift.

According to Industrial Relations News (IRN), the company is seeking to activate a clause in a 1999 agreement which sets out a 33% premium for a four-cycle shift.

The company claimed it required an immediate introduction of the four-cycle shift, to guarantee supply.
