Print workers collective bargaining dispute
Joan Collins raises the unofficial strike by eight print workers over an alleged breach of their collective bargaining agreement and seeks Government intervention. The Ceann Comhairle rules that it cannot be addressed under the Order of Business.
I wish to raise a matter concerning collective bargaining legislation and the point made by the Taoiseach regarding the programme for Government. Eight print workers are on unofficial strike across the road from this House because they feel the collective bargaining deal they made in 2007 has been broken.
Comment on this
I cannot bring this onto the agenda of the Dáil because I cannot raise it as a Topical Issue matter. I would like the Taoiseach to say how he can intervene in this and bring it to the Labour Court or the Labour Relations Commission.
