Deferred ESB strike action may be back on
The strike by 200 Polish members of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union was due to start at 7am yesterday but was called off following talks at the Labour Relations Commission.
The workers who were employed by Polish subcontractor ZRE Katowicz on the refurbishment of the ESB’s Moneypoint plant in Co Clare were let go at the start of the week after the main contractor of the refurbishment, German company Lentjes, dispensed with the services of ZRE. The men had not been paid for seven weeks.
