Meanwhile, back home, Newstalk reports…
SIPTU says a company creating 400 jobs in Dublin needs to say whether it’s going to rehire some staff it’s already laying off.
Pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb is creating [400] jobs at a new manufacturing plant at Cruiserath in north Dublin.
1,000 jobs will also be created during the construction phase at the biological medical company – expected to be completed in 2018.
However, the news comes only eight months after the company said it would be closing a separate plant on the same site, with 130 workers being let go.
Company that announced 400 jobs is already laying off 130 people (Newstalk)
I work for a Company in dublin that Richard Bruton visited to Open a new building for us, there was drink, handshakes and a little speech by Richard, there were a few journos there too, and later that afternoon , the papers reported the story including the announcment of almost 100 jobs.
That was months ago, and we havent hired 1 person, I asked the boss when are we hiring those people? The reply was ‘ we are not hiring anyone for the forseeable future’
I reckon some of these Job announcements are bogus
name the company
….first Gerry with his $500 dinners and 1st class flights…now Enda on a NY junket….Mehole will be livid.
They are actually laying off 190 direct employees and another 100 contractors will be let go too, all by next sep
spin-o-matic
lots of zero day contracts and furlough clauses no doubt
enjoy your day out Kenny, you’ll be back to the classroom soon enough
They’re laying off pharmaceutical scientists and hiring biopharmaceutical scientists. Its just business, baby.
“I hear that you and your company sold your pharmeceutical scientists and bought biopharmaceutical scientists
I hear that you and your company sold your biopharmaceutical scientists and bought pharmeceutical scientists”
