CLOSURE OF WHITWORTHS, WARRINGTON

Motion Text

That this House deplores the decision of Whitworths to close its factory in Warrington with the loss of approximately 250 jobs; regrets that the company failed to return to negotiations with Warrington Borough Council before announcing its decision; believes that its failure to recognise trade unions at its Warrington plant, while recognising them at its Irthlingborough site, is totally unjustifiable; and regards the proposed closure as a slap in the face for a loyal and diligent workforce.
