Cork caterers on strike
Staff at the country’s largest local authority office face the prospect of foraging for their own food today, as their caterers are due to go on strike.
Employees of the catering company Masterchef Munster are expected to mount a picket at 8am outside Cork County Hall today (November 5th) in protest over pay and non-recognition of their union by the company.
Rail workers wildcat in Cork
Maintenance staff at Kent Station in Cork have been on strike since mid-day Tuesday.
The workers were asked to work replacement instead of maintenance rosters, which would normally entitle them to additional pay. They have recieved support from other Irish Rail workers, with pickets in place from 3pm Tuesday, and spokesmen from their employers saying disruption will continue "until further notice".
