Otis lift Strikers going up! Mass Picket Otis HQ Dublin 14th July 2010

Otis lift strikers are on their third day of industrial action against their employer Otis who have chosen to impose compulsory redundancies rather than accept voluntary redundancies. Due to an injunction taken out on them at their picket in Dublin Airport TEEU members held a mass picket this morning 14th July at Otis Head office in Bluebell.

They had a hugely successful picket in Dublin Airport where Otis workers received support from other workers they had supported when they were on strike.

Trade Union TV had sought an interview with a spokesperson from Otis but no one was available to talk in Otis's Bluebell office. But according to their website: "At Otis, people are our most important asset....Otis offers a supportive environment where employees are encouraged to develop their skills and talents to their fullest potential."
