Fears for 465 Lufthansa Technik jobs

TÁNAISTE Mary Coughlan has expressed fears for the future of 465 jobs at the Lufthansa Technik Airmotive plant in Rathcoole, Co Dublin.

Last night, Ms Coughlan appealed to workers who have opposed new overtime arrangements “to consider the serious implications of their actions”.

The Tánaiste said as somebody who had worked with senior trade union representatives in a determined bid to save the company from collapse, “it would be most regrettable if the actions of a small few jeopardise the jobs of so many in this highly skilled sector”.
