UCC to take legal action over planned pickets on campus
Tyndall Institute are staging strike action.
University College Cork is to take legal proceedings in a bid to prevent unions from placing pickets on its campus.
Around 100 members of trade unions IFUT and SIPTU took to the picket line at Tyndall Institute at 7am this morning in a long running dispute over pay parity.
A number of days of strike have been announced for this month, including a picket of the entrance to the main campus on May 13th.
Head of HR at UCC Barry O'Brien says this will cause disruption for students taking their end of year exams and as a result it's asking the High Court to prevent this day of strike.
