Bruton urges Lufthansa staff to meet management at LRC
The Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton is urging management and staff at the Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland plant in Co. Dublin to meet at the Labour Relations Commission.
Mr Bruton wants the parties to find a resolution in a dispute about overtime, which could cause the closure of the Rathcoole factory.
Staff have been told that 465 jobs are at risk, because of a three-month overtime ban.
That ban has been imposed by unions, because of management's refusal to pay the last 2.5% pay increase due under the 'Towards 2016' national wage agreement.
The company said the overtime ban is causing it major problems.
