Both sides - Time to wake up
It sound like silly games on both sides here:
The Management must realise that staff will depart for pastures new if they are not paid a decent wages in line with the Irish inflation rate and a profitable company must be able to pay the agreed national package.
On the other hand the staff must also realise that there is plenty of cheap realible maintenance facilities in both Eastern Europe and now Asia also.
Both must remember that the Shannon region cannot affoard to loose a large compny like this nor will either Staff or Management be likely to pick up simialr employment in the region if this descends into the farce it looks like doing.
Hope it gets sorted out soon.....should do if they both swallow their prde and sit around a table for a chat.
