Musgrave workers vote for industrial action

Musgrave employees in Cork have voted for industrial action after rejecting a Labour Court recommendation on restructuring measures within the company.

According to union sources, the main stumbling blocks were the company’s insistence on implementing new voice technology in the groups Cork Chill warehouse and new rostering arrangements.

A spokeswoman for the Musgrave Group said the company was involved in trying to implement voice technology in its Cork Chill warehouse but denied that any issues involving rostering were at stake. She also pointed out that the technology had been introduced in all its other warehouses.
