Dozens in limbo as GE Healthcare job offers pulled at last minute

A medical technology company is under fire after its last-minute withdrawal of job offers to dozens of people — some of whom have now been left unemployed after quitting jobs to take up the new positions.

GE Healthcare, a global giant which makes hi-tech medical diagnostic equipment, blamed internal industrial relations issues at its global manufacturing site in Carrigtwohill in East Cork for its decision to withdraw the job offers.

Several affected candidates said they have sought legal advice and are now considering their various legal options.
