DAIRYGOLD MUST RECOGNISE WORKERS' CONTRIBUTION

CORK EAST Labour TD Seán Sherlock has welcomed the news that both sides of the 4HOMES dispute are to return to the Labour Relations Court - but added that Dairygold must be willing to recognise their employees' contribution to the company.

Speaking following the postponement of picketing of 4HOMES stores this week, Deputy Sherlock said that the long service provided to Dairygold must not be forgotten.

"If both sides are going back to the LRC that is to be welcomed but with a view to Dairygold in part acceding to wishes of workers who want to continue to be part of Dairygold, not Reox. Some of these workers have given over 20 year's contribution to the Co-Op," said Deputy Sherlock.
