Call For Workers At JTI Gallahers To Be Given Help To Find New Jobs
Workers who have lost their jobs at cigarette makers JTI Gallahers should be given help to find new employment, according to Sinn Féin.
Approximately 500 employees are to leave its plant in Ballymena, Co Antrim, today, 20 May.
MLA Daithí McKay said it is a "significant blow" to the local economy.
He said: "This is an area that has experienced a number of job losses in recent years.
"JTI Gallahers have given many reasons for these job losses but it is clear they are chasing cheaper wage bills.
"The staff who are leaving their jobs in Gallahers should be given every assistance in terms of retraining, reskilling and finding new employment."
