Newry Workers Strike for Fair Pay
from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Thirty Haldane Fisher workers in Newry have gone on strike for three weeks, rejecting a paltry 2.5% pay raise amid soaring living costs. Many have loyal decades with the company, now forced to protest for the first time as wages lag behind inflation — while management and shareholders reap bigger rewards. The union accuses the company of profiting while neglecting workers, and even the Infrastructure Minister has stepped in to urge fair negotiations. Haldane Fisher insists the strike affects only 3% of staff and remains open to dialogue — but tensions remain high as the busy season hits hard.
