60 jobs could be under threat at Heinz in Dundalk

As many as 60 jobs could be under threat at Heinz in Dundalk, as part of the restructuring of the company in Ireland and the UK.

The company has said it was targeting 248 office job losses across its 2,600 workforce in Ireland and the UK.

Latest accounts for the Heinz group show that it employed 279 workers in Ireland at the end of last year.

However, 217 of these were in the manufacturing wing of the company, which will not be targeted by the current redundancy proposals.

The company said only office workers will be affected, which includes administration and sales staff.

However, a Heinz spokesman said it could not give details on the specific number of office jobs at risk in Ireland or the UK at this time.

The trade union Unite, which represents most manufacturing staff at the Dundalk plant, said it had been assured that none of its members were affected.

The union said it was attempting to meet the company.

In a statement earlier, the company said the proposal was subject to a consultation process with employees and their representatives, and Heinz is committed to ensuring all employees are treated with the utmost respect and compassion.

The company recently laid off 600 employees in the United States.
