Hibernian staff vote for action

HIBERNIAN staff have voted in favour of industrial action in protest at plans to relocate 580 jobs to India.

Unite trade union, which represents 1,600 of the company’s 2,200 staff, served the company with seven days notice of the action.

“We are now officially in dispute and there will not be any cooperation with the transfer of the work and jobs to India,” said Unite’s Jerry Shanahan. “In the event that the company starts trying to transfer the work or jobs then they will trigger the dispute. We are mandated to hold one-hour stoppages to bring home that the company proposals are not acceptable in their current form.
