Remaining Crystal workers on notice

THE bulk of the remaining 176 staff at Waterford Crystal have been given 30 days’ notice of redundancy.

Following a sit-in last April, Waterford Crystal workers voted in favour of a package that saved 176 jobs the Kilbarry plant for a six-month agreement.

According to union Unite, staff started receiving letters on Tuesday notifying them that they were to lose their jobs from August 26.
