Cadbury workers seek job assurances after Kraft takeover

WORKERS at the Cadbury plant in Rathmore, Co Kerry, still do not know if the takeover of the company by US food giant Kraft will affect their jobs.

Last year, SIPTU agreed to rationalisation proposals resulting in the loss of 28 jobs in Rathmore. The plant now has a workforce of around 80.

Cadbury Ireland Ltd employs almost 1,600 people, including 1,100 at its plant in Coolock, Dublin, and the remainder at plants in Tallaght, west Dublin, and Rathmore.
