GMB Union has described job losses at ceramics company Wedgwood [1] as a 'body blow' for the sector.
Chris Hoofe, GMB Organiser, said:
“This is another body blow for ceramics in Staffordshire and more evidence, if any was needed, to meet GMB’s demands of the government to act and support the sector.
“GMB will be entering into consultation over the proposed redundancies and fighting to mitigate any compulsory job losses.
“The workers at Wedgewood are highly skilled and dedicated employees who are affected by circumstances beyond their control.
“GMB Union will do everything we can to support them at this incredibly difficult time.”
