DHL staff to vote on job cuts deal

Workers at DHL centres around the country will next week vote on a series of proposals from the firm that could see some of the 320 redundant staff take up self-employed contracts with the courier.

SIPTU today said that the proposals provide for a Service Partner Model which will allow a number of workers being made redundant at the depots in Athlone, Cavan, Enniscorthy, Galway, Sligo, Tralee and Waterford to continue working on a self-employed basis with DHL, reports Businessworld.ie.
