Up to 100 workers at Irish Cement Ltd plants in Limerick and Meath have gone on strike.
They’ve been manning pickets at the entrances to the sites at Castlemungret in Co. Limerick and Platin in Co. Meath, since early this morning.
The workers say they’re protesting at the company’s failure to implement a Labour Court recommendation that they be paid thousands of euro they say they’re owed by the firm.

In a statement to Clare FM this evening, management at Irish Cement have expressed disappointment at the industrial action, and say workers have rejected a 6% pay cut suggested by the Labour Court in the past week.
