GMB Union has descried closures by packaging giant DS Smith as 'brutal'
Matt Roberts, GMB National Officer, said:
“The loyal DS Smith workforce were reassured throughout the takeover that it would be a positive step.
“But brutal closures of multiple sites and savage job cuts at others so soon into the new ownership are way beyond their worst fears.
“This cruel move is a huge shock for these workers, their families and their communities - not to mention a disaster for this strategically important industry.”
