Staff to picket Tyndall in pay dispute

Siptu will mount pickets at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork this morning over what it describes as a disparity of up to 20% in pay between its members and staff at University College Cork.

Those involved include researchers, engineers, administrators, technical staff, and IT workers.

The union claims there is a pay difference “of the order of 10% to 20%” between a large number of Tyndall employees and their counterparts doing the same or similar work on the UCC main campus”.
