Mine due to be closed temporarily next week and 650 staff to be suspended
“This protest should not come as a surprise to anyone,” said the union’s regional coordinating officer, Tom Fitzgerald. “Workers at Tara Mines, who are facing the prospect of indefinite layoff without pay, have clearly seen no alternative but to take this action due to the company’s intransigence and their refusal to engage with workers and their representatives in any meaningful way.
Delegates at the Irish Congress of Trade Unions biennial congress in Kilkenny are due to debate an emergency motion on the situation at the mine on Thursday. “I will be proposing an emergency motion at the ICTU conference calling on the Government to urgently engage with the mine’s owners, Boliden and trade unions to put in place the necessary supports to ensure that the mine remains in production, and workers continue to be paid in full.”
The Government had initially suggested that a package of supports intended to help the company might be available but Minister for Enterprise Simon Coveney said last week it was limited in what it could do by competition law and not in a position to address such substantial losses.
