Dixons Stores Group (DSG) Statement

John Gorle, National Officer for USDAW, commented:

“We are aware that DSG, formally known as Dixons, will be closing at least 77 stores and laying off staff.

“Usdaw represents around 200 DSG staff and we would urge those members to contact us, so that we can ensure that they are treated fairly and receive any compensation due to them.”
