Galtee Meat plant jobs on the line
11/08/2004 - 07:51:19Up to 130 jobs are reportedly on the line at the Galtee Meats pig plant in Mitchelstown, Co Cork.
Reports this morning said workers feared the company was planning to close the pig-slaughtering factory.
An announcement on the future of the plant is expected later today.
This morning’s reports said fears for the factory had increased due to rumours that vets who inspect animals brought for slaughter had been told they would not be required after August 20.
Around 100 pig farmers took part in an IFA march in Mitchelstown yesterday to highlight their concerns about the possible closure.
