Two work stoppages will begin at the end of this week.
Strike action is back on the cards at an Offaly food plant after the collapse of talks late last week.
SIPTU says its members will begin a campaign of two 12 hour work stoppages at Carroll's Cuisine in Tullamore on Sunday and Monday.
It comes after management's withdrawal from talks on pay and conditions at the meat processing plant.
The work stoppages will begin 7am both days, and SIPTU members will place pickets on all entrances to the plant for the duration.
