Workers at Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland (LTAI) have rejected Labour Court proposals aimed at resolving a dispute with management over proposals for work practice changes.
Staff at the plant at Rathcoole, Co Dublin voted by a substantial majority earlier this month against management plans to cut overtime rates and other changes.
Workers narrowly rejected proposals put forward by the Labour Court today.
Management at the company said two weeks ago that a planned $40 million investment at the facility would not proceed if the flexibility and work practice reform proposals were not accepted by staff. It said that this would lead to the eventual winding down of the plant, which currently employs 465 staff.
