Unite's reaction to Corus Job cuts
25 June 2009
Unite's national officer, John Rowse said: "We will be having
urgent discussions with the company on this latest announcement but
we cannot keep moving from crisis to crisis, its time for the
government to step-up and act. Whilst the circumstances of this
latest announcement is due to the impact of the global crisis,
interim solutions have to be local to the UK. The situation for
Corus and British manufacturing is too serious to stand idly by.
Unless there is urgent support from the UK government, British
manufacturing will come out of recession hamstrung and unable to
compete in the world economy.
"Unite will be doing everything possible to support its members.
Our priority is to minimise redundancies but unless there is action
from the government to support British manufacturing we will
continue to see skilled jobs wither on the vine."
