Construction body angry over crane operators’ strike

The Construction Industry Federation reacted angrily to yesterday’s crane strike that halted two major construction sites in Dublin.

Crane operators who are members of the Unite trade union placed pickets at the Sisk site in Capital Dock and the Cairn Homes site at Hanover Quay.

Unite said the action was strongly supported, with around 20 members on the picket lines while up to 200 other construction workers refused to pass them.
