EMC set to trim global workforce by 7%

EMC Corporation, the data storage company that employs 1,300 in Cork and Dublin, has announced it will cut its global workforce by 7% following disappointing third-quarter results.

EMC has yet to decide where the estimated 1,300 redundancies will be sought - and it may be several weeks before it is known if either of its Irish operations will be targeted.

Three hundred workers lost their jobs at the Cork plant last April, as EMC felt the full force of the worldwide information technology (IT) downturn.
