I understand now why people say you have to be dillusional or someway insane to work for Abbott. How many years have ye given to this company who day after day, week after week, month after month go about 20 inches deep inside you. It seems alot of you have lost your souls or just enjoy taken it lads I gave a spell up there lasted a year. There is better work environments that pay better money in Clonmel look at Bulmers, Boston, MSD, Aldi, Lidl.

I know alot of people are holding on for redundancy but alot of ye won't even see retirement. Look at what it is doing to you and your health it takes it toll. Do you trust Abbott to give 8 weeks again like in 2013?

If you compare every medical device company in Ireland. Abbott actually pays the least and in other Abbott sites in Ireland all have a union yet smaller workforces

The problem in Clonmel is the competitive nature of the workforce, everyone on line is competing against eachother for a extra tenner in review. This leads to the culture of rats and a horrible work culture. This is not the way in a union workforce. Everyone pulls together for the common good if ye lads want to be competitive over a tenner your effectively robbing off the lad working beside you and taken food out of each others mouths. I found the whole situation horrible and left as soon as I could. It's a shame the biggest workforce in town can't come together to stop the madness.

Well stated and ALL true.
 






























People are being approached I was asked twice this week by union representatives to join. A union has to go through official channels. Its difficult because shifts are split and lots of people are not at work due to illness and underlying conditions. It could take a few months to gather enough people I think 150 would be sufficient but we need at least 70% support across all areas and shifts. Most likely union reps won't post on here not to much anyway. Anything that gets written down as to come from union that we join. I think 1 union is better than 2 unions it appears we have 2 different union reps so these lads need to talk.
 




























































World wide pandemic solution all hr, managers, office staff and directors work from home with pay everyone else is essential worker even though they get paid the least have to come to work and interact with hundreds of people lots of people will have to go out sick, take hoilidays and unpaid leave. We manufacturing very little yet risk our health and family health. Boston solution everyone stays at home for 2 weeks with pay. Abbott protect most "important" people the lads on 6 figure salaries. The lads on the lines will risk everything just so ye pricks can hold onto your huge salaries. Thankfully we don't have a confirmed case yet but the decision makers are a disgrace to humanity. Our lives and families matter alot you know. Ye can't even get basic social distancing right. Still all on top of each other in gowning areas and on line. This madness has to stop. The worst I heard today was ye are ringing people who are self isolating and demanding they come back to work risking everyones health. It's shocking that we haven't been forced to close yet given the way things are being run on the lines. If we did it down the town we would be arrested for it. Forcing employees to break the law over a few quid. Time to give it up ye tried yer best it failed miserabley.
 






Why doesn’t your government or South Tipperary County Council do something about it? In America it would be shut down EVEN if considered a life sustaining business (which you knuckleheads are) if social distancing was not adhered to. UNIONIZE or better yet, move to USA and start a Pub I’ll buy everybody a round. God Bless you all even the trolls.
 






I have started to Change my gown every time I leave clean room. Everyone should do the same. The gowns are not clean. Passing people and touching off people gowns are getting contaminated. Abbott will get some shock when they run out of gowns and shoe covers.

Funny how we have to social distance in clean room I don't see that happening yet.

Great to see empty office area looks good for inspection.

Sad To see that the clean room people are still passing each other distance of 2m is not being used.
People can't do their job if the have to keep 2m away from us.
Cleaners have to clean
Stock has to be stocked
Trolley have to be moved

I'm contacting the HSE again it will hopefully do something to keep the operators safe. The HSE won't be Happy having to come in again. Waisting the time of the HSE.
