A SPOKESMAN for the 477 workers who are to lose their jobs at the Banta RR Donnelly plant in Limerick said yesterday they were “pretty happy” with the redundancy package offered.

Redundancy deal ‘fair’

SIPTU shop steward Patrick Curtis, who has been working at the plant for the past six years, said: “The package is the same offered last October when there were voluntary redundancies. I think it is a better package than the one offered by Dell to their 1,900 workers and we can’t argue with it. The company has been fair enough with us and has not been beating around the bush.”

He said as Dell was their sole customer they were prepared for the worst once the computer company announced its move to Poland with the loss of 1,900 jobs.
