Seagate has been urged to be "upront" with over 1,000 workers at its manufacturing site in Derry amid a fear of large scale job losses.
The hard-drive manufacturer, one of Derry 's largest private sector employers, has said it will not "speculate" on "any numbers of positions" but confirmed a "global restructuring plan" is in progress.
DUP MP Ian Paisley said the news shows "hype and announcements about a jobs bonanza" in Northern Ireland from American politicians was "all talk, no trousers" while Aontu councillor Emmet Doyle called for clarity from the company.
