Siptu workers will be balloted on strike action tomorrow after talks on the Brinks Allied dispute broke down at the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) last night.

All cash deliveries by Brinks to and from banks and major commercial customers will be halted if the strike goes ahead. The row has disrupted cash deliveries to ATMs in Dublin and on the east coast.

The dispute concerns the introduction of security procedures, which workers claim would leave them more vulnerable to attack during armed robberies.

Talks at the LRC between SIPTU and Brinks management broke down last night after nearly five hours.
