Bord na Móna Strike Deferred
Although it is understood that workers will be balloted on Thursday on new proposals from the company, unions at troubled Bord na Móna have deferred strike action.
The news came after a meeting this morning which also resulted in a picket being lifted.
It was placed on some Bord na Mána works this morning, but the action has now been halted until the ballot in Tullamore.
Workers at Bord na Móna bogs in Offaly, Westmeath and Longford had voted in favour of strike action three weeks ago.
Still on employment news and it has emerged that US medical technology group, Cook Medical, is to win regulatory approval soon on a new device being developed in Limerick.
They said it will change the lives of millions of people around the world suffering from circulatory problems.
The company is well in to a recruitment campaign that will see 200 new staff working on its new Zilver PTX drug-eluting stent, which is used for the treatment of blocked arteries in the leg.
Cook Medical is investing €25m in a manufacturing and services facility in Limerick that will create the 200 jobs over the next five years and is currently building a state-of-the-art Clean Room.
