Labor Dispute Prompts Withdrawal of Several Job Offers at GE Healthcare

A dispute with an Irish labor union reportedly prompted GE Healthcare (NYSE:GE) to withdraw job offers to several prospective employees just a day before they were to start.

The imaging giant is in the middle of a $44.7 million (€40 million) buildout of a facility in East Cork, Ireland, and had made the job offers to help staff the 140-worker expansion, according to the Irish Examiner.

Several dozen would-be employees interviewed for the jobs, passed aptitude and medical tests and, in some cases, inked contracts.
