    Is that any different to the other side sticking the knife in over in the negitive threads?

    I miss the days when this forum when this was for discussion of current events or banter and people left political bias in the politics forum.

    So many threads get highjacked by politics. It can be so irritating.

    Bit of a typo on the RTE website :):)
    "The company is investing €60 in the Waterford facility, with the jobs coming on stream over the next two years."
    They've screwed us over :D:D:D

    The jobs that are being posted are whats needed in early stages to set up manufacturing e.g engineers and managers.

    Once the fit out is complete they will need a variety of roles filled.

    Theres surely production jobs going, same as the likes of the jobs that are filled in Genzyme and Baush and Lomb, They will hire production operatives that will be trained on the job, I suppose they will be bring production staff with them from wexford or where ever to get them off the ground!

    After seeing a BBC1 panorama investigates about theatre operating tools being made at the side of the road in pakistan and india i will be glad to see them being made INDOORS in Waterford, The tricks they get upto to certify the instruments being made in Germany is unreal, they buy metal thats mixed into their own metal at 2 percent say the 2 percent is from germany they stamp the tools made in germany then, the practice is thought to be one of the major reasons for the spread of MRSA, must find a youtube link if im allowed

    I suppose all the employees who were laid off a few years ago will get first preference on the jobs.

    Excellent news. High quality well paid jobs, plus the local resources they will probably employ for cleaning, landscaping, canteen etc.

    FG fanboys? WTF? Why would a fanboy suggest that the current government isn't great due to our crap electorate? The coalition (it's not an FG government, just so you know) got in because people thought they could vote away national bankruptcy. Now that they learn they can't, they are swinging back towards the corrupt fools who bankrupted us in the first place. :confused:

    Waterford is just a microcosm of the whole country - we need to stop looking for easy answers, regardless of whether those easy answers are coming from Labour or FG or (more usually) FF.

    Anyway, apologies to all for going O/T with this on what should be a positive thread.

    The majority of employees were laid off in 2004 (9 years ago), with the rest going the following year. Most (including me) will have moved on to other things by now.

    Besides, the jobs announced today are for a completely different product (medical devices vs printer cartridges). Can't imagine there'd be much benefit to them hiring former employees.

    Any guesses as to what the general ops wages will be like? Could we hope for something as high as €11 or €12 per hour?

    Pharmaceutical so I'd certainly imagine so. I wonder how skilled the work force Will have to be for the majority of the jobs. With so many former manufacturing staff out of work I'll say they'll put some team together

    The majority of the jobs will be unskilled minimum wage assembly work I would think. The 14 jobs that are advertised are probably the only 'high end' jobs that require 3rd level qualifications and they are looking to fill these now I would guess. They can fill the rest quickly I'm sure when they need to.

    No, I thought not.

    Will you stop with that nonsense.

    I did, but you raised it again. Just pointing out some hypocrisy and negativity I've noticed in Waterford.

    My own view is that the current government deserves no credit for the new jobs, and no blame for the pre-existing lack of jobs.

    They're a multinational , pharmaceutical company so I'd say a basic of at least 12 , that'll be topped up by a shift rate then which will vary depending on which shift pattern they run. Previous pharmaceutical experience will be a big plus I'd imagine. They'll have lots of extra benefits like health cover to judging by there website. All looks good.

    Very hard to get good manufacturing staff with pharma/medical device experience. Engineers from all departments when it comes to med device/pharma are in short supply at the moment. Just take a look at the engineering jobs advertised on Irish jobs etc.

    But I think this is fantastic for the area.

    I would agree. But this whole forum appears to be populated by several people running FG agendas - with nothing being done about it. You can dress it up any way you like, but.........

    Ok, lets not turn this into another politics thread. If you want to moan about politics in general then take it to the politics forum.

    Also worth remembering that just because somebody has a different view then you does not mean they automatically support FG. Thinking this way is as silly as labeling anyone who may currently dislike government policy's as a Workers Party supporter.

    This thread is about good news so lets not sh*t on it,

    Couldn't find a positive article on the Independet about this, but as usual they did have a negative story to run with

    The protest somewhat overshadowed the positive news which is in many respects ironically a shame on the protesters,

    It is the Indo so i'd take it with pinch of salt ;)

    Two storys on the Irish Times about it
    http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/health-pharma/200-new-jobs-for-waterford-1.1341852
    http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/taoiseach-takes-to-minting-money-in-waterford-1.1342072

    Not as much coverage given to the protesters, come across as alot more positive to Waterford especially the museum which is good.
