Intel Meet With Workers Over Redundancies
Workers at the Intel factory in Kildare are to meet with management after the announcement of hundreds of redundancies.
The electronics manufacturer, which employs more than 5,000 people in Ireland, informed staff in February it was seeking between 200-300 voluntary redundancies and is today meeting with staff who have opted to take voluntary redundancy.
The move at the operation in Leixlip, Co Kildare is part of a wider cost cutting plan, which also saw Intel announce the closure of five factories in the US, the Philippines and Malaysia in January.
It is expected that Leixlip employees who take voluntary redundancy will leave next month.
The company is estimating it will end 2009 with around 78,000 employees, down about 25 per cent from a peak of 103,000 in 2006.
However, while it is seeking to reduce its workforce in Leixlip, the firm has announced that up to 130 jobs may be created as part of plans to expand its research centre in the Shannon Free Zone, Co Clare.
Intel said the investment could create 134 jobs over the next four years in the Shannon area bringing the total number of people it employs in the mid-west to 300.
