STRIKING WORKERS AT THE Bord na Móna power plant in Co Longford have decided to hold a ballot on whether to return to work or not. The 40 staff members have been on unofficial strike since last week, in a continuing dispute with management over wages. The staff say they are owed money to cover loss of earning incurred during the station’s closure for maintenance. The Lough Ree power plant was closed for three months and is due to re-open. The company claims the workers failed to fulfil their duties by returning for work.
