24th February 2020Charlotte pledges to fight tooth and nail to protect 123 people working at Unilever Warrington
Charlotte and GMB members have pledged to fight to protect the people working at the Warrington site.
News that the future of Warrington’s historic Unilever factory is under threat due to a decline in demand for washing powder has sparked calls to find alternatives to potential closure.
Eamon O’Hearn, GMB National Officer, said:
“GMB is extremely saddened at the news that Unilever Warrington, a seminal location in British manufacturing history, could potentially close, less than 12 months after Colman’s in Norwich. The site has been operating for 136 years and has a proud record and history, and GMB would obviously want to see a positive result for the workforce from the proposed review. Our members are 100% committed to finding alternatives to potential closures and will be working closely with the company experts to explore all options.”
Charlotte Nichols MP added:
“Unilever’s announcement is of great concern to my constituents who work at the Crosfields site in Warrington. I commit to standing up for my constituents affected by the proposals and I am working with the GMB union to try and secure the future of the workforce there.”
