Ballymun residents without lifts due to strike

AN industrial dispute has left some residents of the Ballymun flat complex in north Dublin without lifts for six weeks.

The dispute involving Pickerings Lifts and the TEEU union began in early February over concerns that some employees were being selected unfairly for redundancy.

Thirteen engineers are currently on strike and despite pressure from Dublin City Council the company has so far refused to attend the Labour Court in order to find a resolution.
