Waterford TDs 'deeply concerned' over redundancy reports at Garrett Advancing Motion
Garrett Advancing Motion is located in the IDA Industrial
Waterford TDs David Cullinane and Conor McGuinness have commented on the reported looming redundancy reports at Garrett Advancing Motion.
On Friday November 28, News and Star reported that 36 voluntary redundancies were being sought at the Waterford branch.
The reports have sparked concern for employees, as only a few months ago around a dozen workers took voluntary redundancies due to lost part numbers.
In a joint statement, the Sinn Féin Deputies stated: “We are deeply concerned by reports of a significant number of voluntary redundancies being sought at Garrett Advancing Motion in Waterford. This news will cause real distress and uncertainty for workers and their families, particularly in the run-up to Christmas.
“Garrett has been a major employer in Waterford for decades, with many employees having given long service to the company. Any threat to jobs at the plant is a serious matter for the workforce and for the wider local economy.
“We are urging Garrett Advancing Motion to immediately clarify its position, to engage openly with staff and their representatives, and to outline what plans are in place to protect employment at the facility. Workers deserve clear answers and certainty about their future.
“We will continue to closely monitor developments and will support employees in seeking full transparency and fair treatment.”
Garrett Motion Ireland have been reached for comment.
