GlaxoSmithKline to cut 100 jobs

UP TO 100 jobs are to be cut at GlaxoSmithKline in Cork and at least a further 100 jobs could be axed in Yahoo in Dublin, it emerged yesterday.

GlaxoSmithKline yesterday told its workforce in Currabinny that, due to falling volumes for the products manufactured at the site, it was introducing a redundancy programme through which it wants to lay off 100 permanent staff.

“We very much regret the impact these proposals may have on our staff and their families,” said the company’s local vice-president Finbar Whyte.
