Glanbia employees vote in favour of relocation plans

WORKERS at the Glanbia pig meat processing plant in Edenderry, Co Offaly, which was destroyed by fire, have backed a company contingency plan that guarantees them employment.

The company offered alternative employment to all 280 employees while it continues to assess the full impact of the fire that extensively damaged the plant early last Sunday morning.

Workers at the plant yesterday voted in favour of accepting the proposals to relocate most of the jobs to two other Glanbia plants in Roscrea, which is about an hour’s journey from Edenderry. They will be bussed to and from the Co Tipperary town each day.
