Cork

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.

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".
