Carroll’s Joinery workers win dispute

An agreement has finally been reached to bring the six-week strike at Carroll’s Joinery to an agreed conclusion.

Following direct negotiations between SIPTU, UCATT and management of Carroll’s Joinery, SIPTU released a statement on Wednesday saying that an agreement had been reached

As part of the negotiated settlement the company has agreed to make available a further €650,000 to compensate workers who have been made redundant.

Assistant branch organiser for SIPTU, Ger Kennedy, stated that the resolution of the dispute was a direct result of the huge efforts put in by the workers over the last six weeks in maintaining pickets both at the Ballintaggart Plant and the company’s head office in Parkwest, Dublin.

“I wish to acknowledge on behalf of the workers involved the solidarity shown by other workers and worker representative bodies that has resulted in this success,” Ger Kennedy said.
