Dave Gill – Usdaw National Officer says: “Greggs bakery staff are now very concerned about the future after this announcement. Usdaw will now enter into consultation talks with the company, where we will interrogate the business case for their proposals. Our priorities are to save as many jobs as possible, maximise employment in the business and seek the best possible deal for our members.
“In the meantime we are providing our members with the representation, support and advice they need at this difficult and uncertain time.”
