Default [1-8-2008] Possibilty of disruption in Munster

Word has come through that strike notice has been served by a group of permanent way staff based in Cork.

This arrises due to employment of contractors to work on the Midleton project.

As of yet we have no details on the date upon which the strike is likely to begin

This is the same group which went on a wildcat/lightning strike a year or so ago. What is it with Cork, something in the water supply?

Same group. They seem to take the view that they have first refusal on all trackworks anywhere in the region

Midleton is deemed a brand new line, so a lot of it has been subcontracted
