Unite’s latest response to GM negotiations

Unite joint general secretary Tony Woodley said:

“The UK Government must now finish the job its been working on. That means being at the meeting table when the final decisions for the ownership of GM Europe are made. The future of our plants and jobs are at stake.

Germany will be thinking strategically about manufacturing, not just for the next two years but the next 25 years. I believe the British Government should be doing the same.”

“It’s crucial that we don’t allow any other government to drive through a plan which reflects only one country’s interests.

“We also need to make sure that we put British money up in the way that the Germans have done and the Spanish will do. Britain needs to play its part to secure a future for jobs at Luton and Ellesmere Port.”
