The company which is Derry's largest private sector employer has said it will not 'speculate' on 'any numbers of positions' but confirmed a 'global restructuring plan' is in progress
Seagate has been urged to be "upront" with over 1,000 workers at its manufacturing site in Derry amid a fear of large scale job losses.
The company was recently hit with a $300 million fine for breaching trading regulations relating to the Chinese market. "The global plan is intended to align the company’s operational needs with the near-term demand environment while continuing to support the long-term business strategy.DUP MP Ian Paisley said: "In light of the Seagate announcement on job cuts where are the Americans and all their promises?
Aontu councillor Emmet Doyle, meanwhile, said: "We are being drip-fed doom by Seagate management locally as to the potential for job losses in Springtown. Workers need to be told upfront what is happening."
