Picket at Kerry Group over driver redundancies

Kerry Agribusiness to outsource milk collection to independent hauliers, making five long-serving drivers redundant

In a statement, Kerry Group said following a comprehensive review of its milk collection procedures in 2023, Kerry Agribusiness made the decision to transition all remaining milk collection operations to its existing independent hauliers.

A picket has been placed outside Kerry Group headquarters in Tralee, Co Kerry, in support of drivers who are being made redundant.

Five milk collection drivers who have been with the company between 29 and 45 years are being replaced by existing independent hauliers by Kerry Group after talks failed to achieve a reversal of the decision.
