Tallaght IT cleaning staff to go on strike next week

Cleaning staff at Tallaght IT are to go on strike from next Monday after their employer laid off 16 workers.

The lay-offs at Resource Cleaning follow the loss of the company's contract with the south Dublin college.

Tallaght IT has awarded the contract to a new company that is refusing to take on Resource Cleaning's staff, despite indications that it would do so.
