21st April 2010 High Court strike injunction hearing put back to Friday
The injunction hearing in the High Court over the Pickerings Lifts dispute in Ballymun, Dublin, has been deferred from today until 2pm on Friday.
The Technical Engineering and Electrical Union has been injuncted by Dublin City Council to prevent it continuing to picket in Ballymun where it has been involved in a dispute over redundancies with Pickerings Lifts since February 4th.
The ex parte injunction was served on the union yesterday evening. The TEEU will be responding in the High Court on Friday before Judge Mary Laffoy at 2pm.
The Labour Court issued a Recommendation to resolve the dispute on April 7th that was accepted by the TEEU but the company has so far refused to engage with the Court or the TEEU.
TEEU Assistant General Secretary Arthur Hall says the Union will be seeking to have the injunction lifted at Friday’s hearing but that no pickets will be placed in the meantime.
