Support workers former UCB employees in Shannon to secure a fair redundancy deal.

Support workers former UCB employees in Shannon to secure a fair redundancy deal.

The Issue

Workers at the Shannon manufacturing site of AVARA Pharmaceuticals formally UCB Manufacturing, many of whom have young families or have dedicated most of their working lives to this site, face the prospect of being made redundant next week. This follows on from a haphazard consultation period and no clear communication regarding their rights or entitlements.

The previously recommended redundancy payment which would have enabled these now vulnerable workers to pay their bills and provide for their families are not being honored by the liquidators. Workers on this site have already had money taken out of their pockets as a result of the liquidation process. Help save them from losing any more. 

This is just another example of a large multinational coming to our shores and treating the Irish worker and the Irish state with contempt and disregard. 

Please sign this petition to help secure a fair redundancy package for the honest hard-working employees of this company.
