Job losses at electronics firm

Electronics worker A computer company in County Antrim has announced further job losses.

The Sanmina SCI plant at Ballinderry Road, Lisburn, said at the beginning of December that 60 jobs would go.

However, on Tuesday, the company said a further 32 staff would be laid off, out of a total workforce of around 300 people.

The US-owned company makes computer cabinets and blood analysis machines for a County Cork firm. It also employs 600 people at a factory in Hungary.

Trade union officials said they were concerned that the current job losses could be a sign that Sanmina is planning to transfer its manufacturing operation out of Northern Ireland.
