The threat of industrial action at Bord na Mona has receded now that the company has made an offer to pay the outstanding PESP three per cent provision to employees.
The offer provides for the payment to be made over a three-year period, at 1 per cent a year, to be paid with increases under the Partnership 2000 national pay award.
The group of unions in Bord na Mona is recommending acceptance and a ballot will be held next month. The planned industrial action has been suspended pending the outcome of the ballot.
