Management of Keenan’s in Borris attend Labour Court over recognition of SIPTU

Management at Keenan’s of Borris have been invited to the Labour Court this morning.

The farming company, which was last year purchased by multi-national business Alltech, have confirmed to KCLR News that it’s in relation to the recognition of trade union SIPTU.

Earlier this year, KCLR was contacted by a Keenan’s staff member who said that the company was refusing to recognise the union.

In a statement, Alltech says that management encourage any employee with concerns to contact them.

They say they operate an “open-door policy”, and at the moment there are no outstanding disputes with any member of their team.
