Apple workers in Cork have accepted a 9.25% pay increase, a move towards pay parity, and a doubling of the company’s voucher scheme from €500 to €1,000, ending months of dispute for the tech giant.

The agreement follows more than a year of protracted negotiations between Apple and staff over pay increases and “inequality” among production workers, the union Siptu said.
