LRC joins attempts to settle Ulster Bank pay and pensions row
A renewed attempt is being made today to settle a pay and pensions row at Ulster Bank.
Mediator Kieran Mulvey, the chairman of the Labour Relations Commission, has written to both the bank and the bank officials union indicating his availability to help negotiate a settlement.
The bank is offering staff new bonus arrangements in return for a new pension scheme.
Last week, the bank withdrew from discussions on the deal.
The Irish Bank Officials Association says it is willing to return to the talks.
