Union Discuss Dublin Waste Dispute

Four Siptu shop stewards from each of the Dublin local authorities are to meeting this week to discuss an ongoing dispute over the outsourcing of waste disposal services.

The meeting will also hear a report on talks at the Labour Relations Commission to resolve the dispute in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

The dispute arose after the council decided to outsource bin collection services to Panda, a private firm.

Workers in South Dublin, Fingal and Dublin City Council have already voted to take industrial action in support their colleagues in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown if the current talks fail.

Siptu called off strike action planned for last week and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Council agreed to defer signing contracts with Panda as talks proceeded.
