‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Worker Participation (State Enterprises) Act, 1977. Worker Representation in NET Merger
Summary
O’Sullivan sought a guarantee that a merger involving NET and Imperial Chemicals would not weaken workers’ representation. The Minister said the matter was under discussion and that his Department was keeping in touch.
Where there is already worker participation in semi-State companies and there is a likely merger — I refer specifically to NET and Imperial Chemicals — will the Minister guarantee that there will not be any erosion of the position of workers' representatives and that they will not be downgraded in any way as a result of a merger?
