Industrial action in the Armagh district will continue for the remainder of the summer.
Council has been informed by UNITE the union of further strike action until Friday, August 30, which will continue to impact on some bin collections across the Armagh area.
A spokesperson for Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council commented: “We are extremely disappointed in this course of action and regret the impact this has on households across the Armagh area, and we wish to reassure residents we remain fully committed to providing as many services normally as possible.
“We completely reject UNITE’s claim that management have created a hostile working environment and strongly refute claims that a union representative would be subject to any detriment as a result of or relating to trade union membership.
“It is regrettable that UNITE have taken this action before exhausting all internal procedures. As this is a live Human Resource matter, Council cannot comment further on an individual case.”
