ESB NETWORKS HAS criticised plans for a 24-hour strike by a group of network technicians at the company who are aligned to the Independent Workers Union.
The industrial action, taken by the group, escalated from a work to rule to a 24-hour strike which will last from Friday at 8am to 8am on Saturday.
It is understood the IWU, which is not recognised by the ESB, has taken the action over a claim that there has been a lack of consultation over work to be outsourced to the private sector.
