ESB Networks has said it has formally issued proceedings in the High Court against the Independent Workers’ Union (IWU) seeking damages and other reliefs arising from industrial action at the company over the last week or so. ESB Networks said on Wednesday it remained “very concerned at the IWU’s industrial action” which it described as “irresponsible”. ESB Networks described the impact of the industrial action on electricity customers so far as “limited”. “ These arrangements have served ESB Networks, our employees and customers well over those years. They have alleged that ESB Networks has not complied with the Employee (Information and Consultation) Act of 2006.
