Tesco urged to promote workers’ redundancy battle

RETAIL giant Tesco has been called on to help fight for a better redundancy package for poultry workers who will lose their jobs in Co Limerick today.

The gates at Castlemahon Food Products poultry plant close for the last time this evening, leaving more than 300 workers on the dole.

The company developed into the one of the biggest suppliers of oven-ready chickens and turkeys in the past 50 years.
