Cork Dockers Accept Redundancies
Ninety-three jobs will be axed at Cork Port, after dockers accepted a voluntary redundancy package.
As a bid to modernise work practices at the dock, the package was put forward by the company in lieu of a vote by workers.
In a statement this afternoon, the company said the redundancies were among the port's casual labour workers and followed years of negotiations.
It said the losses were accepted by SIPTU after an agreement was reached in the Labour Court.
The company welcomed the decision and said it would result in a radical change in the methods of work in the port.
