A number of jobs are on the line at the Shannon base of American courier firm UPS.
In a statement to Clare FM, the company has confirmed that a reallignment of its structures will result in what’s described as “changes in the roles” of eight workers, potentially including redundancies.
It’s understood staff were told on Friday, with two of the workers to be finished by the end of August and the remaining to know their fate by December.
UPS says it will endeavour to redeploy as many of the employees as possible.
Statement from UPS
As part of our ongoing efforts to better position the business for the future, UPS in Ireland is re-designing its internal processes and re-aligning its overall structure to increase efficiency and improve responsiveness to customers.
UPS can confirm that these initiatives will result in changes in the roles and responsibilities of 8 employees in non-operational functions working out of our Shannon branch, potentially including redundancies.
We anticipate the process changes to be implemented by the end of the year. Our intention is to, wherever possible, retain the depth of knowledge and experience of our people, and the company will endeavor to redeploy as many employees as it can.
