Hunger strike begins at Green Isle

A GREEN ISLE shop steward who begins a hunger strike outside the company’s Naas plant this afternoon has vowed his protest will continue until the six-month long dispute is resolved.

Jim Wyse’s action is in support of workers who have been let go from the food company following a dispute over accessing of material on its computers.

The Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU), which has a number of members working in Green Isle, says Mr Wyse will be joined by another hunger striker each Wednesday until the company and the affected workers reach agreement.
