SIPTU Urge SSE To Engage Following Cuts Proposal
SIPTU has called on Specialised Sterile Environments [SSE] to engage with union representatives over proposed cuts to workers hours.
It is understood that SSE is considering a proposal to halve the number of hours it provides in cleaning services at the Valeo Vision Systems Plant in Tuam, County Galway.
SIPTU Organiser, Robert Purfield, said: "The management of SSE is refusing to discuss this major change with its employees' representatives despite the workers signing a petition requesting it to do so. Our members have received no information on how this change will impact on them although the company has stated that it intends to implement the cut in hours from next Monday, 18 July."
"SIPTU is calling on SSE to immediately engage with the workers' representatives and to ensure that no cuts in workers' hours of employment are implemented unilaterally."
