Happy New Year 2010 to all my friends and supporters. Especially I wish to remember the ex DELL workers in Limerick and beyond.
Of course we now have The DELL Redundant Workers Association which has been founded to ensure the legitimate interests of the workers are protected. Let us hope that the grant of €14.8 million to help over 2,000 former Dell workers find work under new EU crisis measures will be doled out in a fair manner.
The funding application relates to 2,840 redundancies - 2,130 in Dell and 840 in eight of its suppliers and producers.
President José Manuel Barroso, who visited Limerick during the Lisbon Election, announced that the European Commission has approved an application from Ireland for assistance from the European Globalisation adjustment Fund (EGF), a €500 million back-to-work scheme used to help retrain workers who lose their job due to the effects of globalisation.
