any idea why they were striking at the Ilac?
EIGHTEEN car parks in Dublin city centre are being picketed by car park attendants in a strike against threatened redundancies.
The car parks, which include two at the lIac Centre, Parnell Street. one at the Setanta Centre, Nassau Street, and Essex and George's Quay car parks, are owned by Irish Car Parks, a subsidiary of the National Car Parks England group.
The company is attempting to close some of the car parks and the strike committee representing the 54 attendants on strike is trying to keep the car' parks open and thus save jobs.
Michael Trimble, spokesperson for the committee, says that the number of cars using the car parks has fallen off, due to the high charges -for parking. He says that the attendants warned the company about exorbitant charges and indeed managed to persuade them to lower the target tariff for a day's parking from £13:50, when the parks first opened, to £8,
The car park attendants fore saw, that charges which were too high Would lead eventually to an under-use of the car parks, and wanted more realistic charges introduced. This, they feel, will ensure that more people will use the facilities and prevent job losses for the attendants',
Joe Gavin, a member of the strike committee, called 'on motorists not to pass the pickets, pointing out that it is in their interest to support the strike and help lower parking tariffs, He also revealed that the management were helping to staff the 'car parks in an attempt to break the strike.
