Attempts by the meat factories to secure additional employment permits for non-EU workers have been blasted by the trade union SIPTU.
MII confirmed to the Farming Independent that it is seeking an increase in the 1,500 work permits that have been granted for meat processing operatives, citing a "critical" labour shortage in the sector.
