Tyndall staff to picket over pay

Staff at Cork’s prestigious Tyndall Institute look set to strike again next month, in a long-running dispute over pay parity.

The institute, which is part of University College Cork, is the largest research facility of its type in Ireland and is known internationally for its research into nanotechnology and photonics.

However, researchers at Tyndall say they are being paid up to a third less than colleagues doing comparable work at the college.
