Coke announcement
24 January 2019
Statement from Senator Ged Nash in relation to Coca-Cola announcement
“I am deeply concerned at this announcement made to Coca-Cola staff in Drogheda today.
“In light of the review of effectively one half of its operation in the town, a sword of Damocles is now hanging over the heads of a substantial number of workers at the Coke facility.
“This uncertainty for staff must be brought to an end and meaningful engagement must take place between the company and its staff.
“There need not be job losses at the Drogheda operation and I am calling on the government and the IDA not to abandon the Coke staff in Drogheda but to fight tooth and nail to retain these valued positions and Coca-Cola’s footprint in Drogheda.”
