Workers to take industrial action over Roscommon Council's use of tracking devices

SIPTU members in Roscommon County Council have voted for industrial action in a row over the use of GPS tracking devices.

Staff in the Council's outdoor works department voted overwhelmingly for action up to and including strike.

The dispute relates to management's use of tracker information in disciplinary hearings, without the agreement of the workers involved.

Approximately 150 SIPTU members are employed in the outdoor works department of Roscommon County Council.
