Greggs manufacturing restructure puts 100 roles at risk at their Clydesmill bakery

Date: 23 January 2017 Usdaw has been informed by Greggs that they propose to restructure their manufacturing operations by concentrating production into centres of excellence, which could mean a reduction in jobs at the Clydesmill bakery in South Lanarkshire.

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.”
