Job Opportunities
23 January 2023
Dear Member,
Following the recent announcement by Argos Management to close the Argos business in the Republic of Ireland, Mandate has been contacted by the following two companies stating that they are currently recruiting staff and are favourable to accepting applications from Argos members.
It is important to note that no agreement has been reached with Argos management at this time to allow staff to exit the business earlier than the date of their redundancy, as to do so may jeopardise your redundancy. The issue of finishing up dates will form part of the discussions between Mandate and Argos management and members will updated on this situation in due course.
Members can contact these companies to explore the opportunities that they are advertising with the view of applying for such vacancies at the time of redundancy or shortly afterwards.
The two companies are as follows:
- Swissport Ireland – Airport Ground Services. More information can be found by following this link
- Bus Éireann – have a number of vacancies for Bus drivers across Ireland and will train ‘B’ Licence holders up to a ‘D’ licence. They would be delighted to support the Argos workers in learning more about these opportunities. Members can contact Bus Éireann directly to explore their vacancies.
Yours sincerely
For Mandate Trade Union
