Word has reached Stalker about the negotiations currently underway between SIPTU and growers in the South.
It seems however that not all growers are happy with the negotiations concerning the Employment Regulation Order for mushroom workers.
Some growers see it as a negotiation between the big industry concerns and SIPTU.
Vincent Turley is the main man negotiating on behalf of the growers in his role with the Mushroom Employers Committee.
Some disgruntled growers have been heard grumbling that this seems to be a contract between the big industry concerns and SIPTU, and that the little guys have very little say in the matter.
