The Association of Electrical Contractors of Ireland is to hold a general meeting of members on Saturday to discuss whether or not to accept a Labour Court recommendation that electricians would receive a 4.9 per cent pay increase.
Ballot papers will be distributed on Saturday, but members may need to consult with partners, so a result may not be known until very early next week.
Meanwhile the Electrical Contractors Association, which represents about 50 major contractors, is expected to meet in Portlaoise this morning.
