The company told workers that operations at the site will be ceased in two years' time. Manufacturing activities will start to be phased out in 2014, but no staff reductions are expected until the end of next year. Unions have the intention to secure agreement with the company that this time is used to ensure that each and every member receives the opportunity to train up so that they will be in a position to secure employment elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002Fbusiness\u002F2013\u002F0307\u002F374559-msd-to-close-rathdrum-plant-280-jobs-to-go\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002Fbusiness\u002F2013\u002F0307\u002F374559-msd-to-close ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Funions-hopeful-over-msd-workers-1.1319525\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Funions-hopeful-over-msd-workers ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
