Meeting Called Over Balfour Beatty Redundancies

SIPTU representatives will meet with management at Balfour Beatty CLG Limited on Monday following the announcement that the company intends to restructure the business with the possibility of up to 76 job losses.

SIPTU Organiser, John Regan said: The announcement by Balfour Beatty CLG Limited that it is seeking redundancies as part of a major restructuring of the company is extremely disappointing. SIPTU is already in a process of constructive engagement with the company and everything will be done to eliminate or reduce the number of proposed redundancies."

The company is seeking 76 redundancies consisting of 32 indoor and 44 outdoor staff across the country. Balfour Beatty CLG Limited, which is based in Finglas in Dublin, was established in 2011 as a joint venture between Balfour Beatty and CLG Developments to carry out network services and works for Bord Gáis Networks. Among the depots affected by threatened redundancies are those in Cork, Carlow, Galway and Dublin.
