Liebherr staff to vote on pay row in new year

Workers at the Liebherr crane factory in Killarney, Co Kerry, who are seeking clarification on Labour Court recommendations arising from a pay dispute, will vote on the vexed issue early in the new year.

The dispute at the huge plant involves 300 Siptu members who have already staged a one-day, official strike but have lifted an overtime ban.

The Labour Court has recommended a 2.5% pay rise backdated almost two years.
