SR Technics workers march to Dublin City Centre

Workers at SR Technics marched through the centre of Dublin today to the offices of the European Commission to highlight ongoing concerns related to the closure of the Dublin based MRO provider. Martin Territt, director of the commission's Dublin office met with the workers and committed to highlighting their concerns in Brussels. The workers are concerned at a deficit in the company's pension plan and the inadequacy of the redundancy payment scheme. The workers also highlighted what they say is misinformation relating to the viability and profitability of the Dublin operation emanating from SRT's Zurich headquarters.
Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Micheal Martin asked the Irish ambassador to Saudi Arabia to intervene in the affair yesterday. Minister Martin asked that the matter of the workers concerns be raised with SRT's largest shareholder in Dubai.
