In an article in todays Irish Independant it is claimed that staff at Allied Irish Banks (AIB) have threatened industrial action if management plans to change pay, pensions and benefits go ahead. The Finance Union (IBOA) has stated that its members have rejected a cuts package, and a majority were prepared to join in litigation to prevent the implementation of the proposals.
The union also claimed a substantial majority of its 8,000 members said they would take industrial action if the bank attempted to impose changes without proper negotiation and agreement with the union.
