Unite maintains dialogue with Lufthansa is ongoing

22nd April 2009

The Unite trade union, as part of the employee works council, expects to meet with management of Lufthansa Technik Airmotive in the coming days to hold further talks arising out of yesterday’s staff rejection of a Labour Court recommendation on changed work practices and this evening’s issuing of protective notice to workers at Rathcoole.

“We want to maintain dialogue between our members and the company management,” said Unite regional officer Willie Quigley. 

“Yesterday’s vote was close and we believe there is still some common ground which will result in a deal that protects jobs, the conditions of our members and the future of the company in Ireland.”
