"Ballymun lift strike ends after 24 weeks "
July 17th, 2010
The 24 week long strike involving members of Technical Engineering and Electrical Union at Pickerings Lifts in Ballymun is over. The terms of the agreement are confidential but are in line with the industry norm for redundancy agreements in the industry.
An agreed formula was finalised in negotiations with the assistance of an independent mediator yesterday. It was then put to the strikers by TEEU General Secretary Eamon Devoy. They voted to accept the terms yesterday evening.
Pickerings will resume its repair operations for the residents of Ballymun until a replacement contractor has been appointed by Dublin City Council. Over 400 tenants have been affected by the dispute."
