Jo Luckett – Usdaw Area Organiser says: “This is devastating news for our members at the site. We will now enter into meaningful consultation talks with the company, where we will interrogate the business case for this proposed closure. In the meantime we are providing our members with the advice, support and representation they need at this difficult time.”
