During a tense hearing in the Workplace Relations Commission in Waterford, a senior Siptu official said she felt “betrayed” by senior management for raising concerns.

Ger Malone, who has worked for Siptu for more than 30 years, was due to give evidence against the trade union, until the case was adjourned just before lunchtime.
