Siptu officials are set to meet with Bord na Móna Recycling management in Portlaoise regarding the sale of the company to KWD Recycling. Union members plan a one-day stoppage starting at 4am, with pickets at nine depots in the midlands and Dublin. Siptu's Adrian Kane criticized the sale's implications for workers, customers, and the environment, emphasizing the need for an employment agreement to secure workers' conditions. The union calls for a more sustainable waste collection approach and seeks government involvement in resolving the dispute, which it sees as of national significance.
We have made clear in talks with the company that our members oppose the sale of this state asset as a move which will cost customers, workers and the environment.
This dispute is an issue of national importance as its outcome is crucial to the future of the domestic waste collection sector in Ireland.
