This is another kick in the teeth for the UK’s proud shipbuilding tradition says GMB Union

GMB has expressed outrage after almost 300 job losses were announced at Cammell Laird.

The company said it was slashing 291 jobs – nearly 40 per cent of the workforce – by March 2019.

Just this week the shipyard won two contracts worth more than £600 million, to maintain Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships.

GMB will meet with members on October 15, before meeting with the company on October 18.

Albie McGuigan, GMB Organiser, said: “This decision is outrageous – particularly coming so soon after the shipyard won those lucrative contracts.

“This number of job losses will cause devastation to the community.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
