Abbott Vascular Clonmel













Where's the social distancing not in yet?

Everywhere corridors, putting on hat, gowning, degowning at breaks, degowning at end of shifts, clusters when putting on gloves, being approached by supervisors on line, on the line ops are 2 close, supervisors desks, toilets. Good measures have been put in place but it not good enough you can't even enter a shop the way we act in clean room but we are doing our best to avoid social interaction but the nature of the job makes it impossible.
 












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.
 






Everyone should demand that face masks are given out to all of us. And not just one but enough for everyone to chance a couple of times a day.
That way we are keeping our co-worker safe if we are infected with coronavirus.
 






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.
 












Why Abbott clonmel not disinfectanting the place between shifts even at the end of the night. Every other factory is.
Even clonmel Tesco station did this week.
Please come on abbott clonmel
 
















































To all working on the abbott clonmel night shift. It's not your fault Abbott are just acting the xxxx. Not paying what should be paid 30%extra. So unfair. They have really taken advantage of all on contract making them do the weekend shift without anything extra. A new LOW ABBOTT CLONMEL. NEW LIE
