Employees at the Irish Pride plant in Taghmon, Co Wexford, have voted in favour of taking strike action over trade union recognition.
SIPTU Organiser, Terry Bryan, said members voted by 97% to 3% in favour of taking strike action. "This is a direct result of a failure by management to accept a Labour Court recommendation which stated that the company should recognise SIPTU as the chosen representative body for all industrial relations purposes for employees who are members of the union," he said.
The union said management at Irish Pride will be informed when its members intend to hold the strike.
Mr Bryan said, "This dispute is completely avoidable if management accepts the Labour Court recommendation and engages with SIPTU representatives in direct and meaningful negotiations."
