The Turkish construction company Gama has accepted Labour Court proposals to reimburse 80 of its workers. The workers have been on strike claiming they were underpaid for overtime. They voted to accept the Labour Court proposals earlier this week.
They will be paid €8,000 per year of service to compensate for the alleged under payments. Each of the Turkish workers will also be paid an ex-gratia payment of €2,000 when they finish their contract in Ireland.
The average pay out per worker will be around £17,000.
SIPTU Industrial Secretary Noel Dowling said "Although our members have benefited from the recommendation it still sees Gama getting away with a considerable amount of earnings that those workers earned nevertheless we welcome it because the workers want to finalise their affairs here, get their money and go back to Turkey"
