Lufthansa jobs saved in Dublin

A threat to some 465 jobs at Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland (LTAI) plant in Rathcoole was averted tonight as management and unions reached an agreement, according to the Irish Times.

Management met representatives of the three unions (Unite, Siptu and TEEU) for more than 10 hours today to try and secure the company's survival.

The company had warned that more than 400 workers faced protective notice from next week unless an agreement reached with unions last April was implemented. It is understood that the threat of protective notice has now been lifted.
