SIPTU representatives will meet with management at Newbridge Silverware today to discuss its threat to make up to eleven workers redundant at its manufacturing plant in Newbridge.
Yesterday, Newbridge Silverware announced it is to cease production of silver-plated cutlery and tableware at its Newbridge factory, impacting eleven workers.
SIPTU Organiser, Richie Elliot, said: “We will meet with our membership on site prior to meeting management and commencing the 30-day redundancy consultation process in Newbridge Silverware.
“The announcement by management to workers that it was considering redundancies came as a great shock to our members. Most have given long service to this business, some for more than 30 years.”
He added: “Newbridge Silverware has provided good employment in the local area since the 1930s. Retaining this high-quality employment is our top priority for the future. Management has stated that falling sales and reduced demand for their cutlery products are the underlying factors behind these potential redundancies.
“While understanding this position, the focus of our Union will be on saving jobs. To this end, we will discuss with management measures that could be introduced to maintain employment at the plant.”
Newbridge Cutlery says a consultation process with impacted colleagues is underway.
