Seagate is one of the world's leading computer storage manufacturers
Workers at Seagate in Derry have been told over 100 jobs will be lost, the Unite trade union has said.
A spokesperson for Unite union, which is currently seeking official recognition at the site in Springtown, said: "Seagate management this afternoon informed workers that it was seeking redundancies from a workforce of 1,600 as part of a retrenchment package which has also included wage cuts."The company had previously said it would not "speculate" on "any numbers of positions" but confirmed a "global restructuring plan" is in progress.
Export control rules put in place by the US government mean Seagate can no longer supply a significant market without risking further action by US authorities. She added: “The best way to defend themselves against threats to jobs and pay is for workers who are not already members to join a union and support our application for collective negotiation rights and recognition at the site.”
