Fifty CIT catering and retail staff threaten strike over pay

Cork Institute of Technology students may face disruption next week when almost 50 catering and retail staff are due to strike over pay.

The first of many planned one-day stoppages by Siptu members on Wednesday is over what their representatives say has been the refusal of management to discuss claims for a pay rise.

However, the college’s subsidiary company which runs the services at CIT’s main campus in Bishopstown disputes the union’s version of events.
