Flextronics to shed more jobs

THE Flextronics plant in Limerick is to lay off 150 workers between May and the autumn as the company winds down its remaining business.
Last November, the company said it was cutting 118 staff as part of a global restructuring of the operation in response to the decline in the world economy.

The company was a major supplier to Dell, which announced it was laying off 1,900 workers last January, and a further 100 last week.
It is understood the union SIPTU has confirmed the firm will begin laying off the remaining 150 workers in May.
The union has been in consultation with the company about workers severance packages and the final wind down of the business.
