Kate Cumming - Usdaw Area Organiser says: “This decision is devastating news for our members. Usdaw has interrogated the business case for the closure of the Müller depot in Aberdeen in a meaningful consultation process, but regrettably no viable alternative was found. The consultation closed last week and we continue to provide our members with support, advice and training to try to secure alternative employment.”
