Members of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union have voted to end their strike at Otis Lifts. The strike, which began on July 2nd, was over compulsory redundancies by the company in June.
The strikers voted narrowly to accept terms which reduced the number of compulsory redundancies from six to one and increased the number of voluntary redundancies available to employees from five to 11.
After the ballot TEEU Assistant General Secretary Arthur Hall said, “The system is at crisis point and our members will facilitate an orderly return to work. There is also a need to rebuild trust within the company and we fully endorse the Labour Relations Commission formula for a return to work that there must be no victimisation in the aftermath of this dispute.”
