Breakthrough in Lufthansa Technik talks

RTE news reports that there has been a breakthrough in talks between unions and management at Lufthansa Technik's Rathcoole Co. Dublin plant tonight. Earlier today the company had said that it would issue protective notice to 400 workers at the company due to a refusal by unions to implement previously agreed working practices. After 11 hours of talks today a clarification document was agreed which would facilitate implementation of new working practices. Earlier this year workers at the plant had agreed proposals to secure the future of the plant with a €28m investment program but management had claimed that employees had failed to honour the agreement with the result that work had been turned away from the plant.
