Company denies exploiting Polish workers at Moneypoint

A Polish-owned company involved in the refurbishment of the Moneypoint power plant in Co Clare has denied union claims that it is exploiting its workers.

The Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union claimed yesterday that 66 Polish staff working for the contractor ZRE Katowice were being paid just €5.20 an hour, which is less than one third of what they are entitled to.
