Ag officers secure shift allowance
by Niall Shanahan
IMPACT has secured a shift working arrangement for agriculture department technical officers working in Western Brand Chickens in Ballyhaunis, county Mayo. The plant operates three shifts a day, which means the technical officers have to be on site outside of normal working hours.
IMPACT official Brian Gorman said all shifts had to be covered to ensure that regulations and standards are maintained, and the integrity of the food chain secured. “The payment is a fair reflection of the flexible nature of the work, which plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and quality of our food,” he said.
