Colgan Air Pilots Vote to Join ALPA
Colgan Air Pilots Vote to Join ALPA NMB Election Results Show Overwhelming Support for Union WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA), welcomes today's announcement by the National Mediation Board (NMB) that the pilots of Colgan Air, Inc., have selected the union as their collective bargaining representative. According to the NMB, 313 of 449 eligible voters cast a ballot in support of representation, well above the threshold required for certification. Prior to the election, the Colgan pilots were unrepresented. "We are pleased that the pilots of Colgan Air have elected to join the 53,000 members of ALPA and secure the benefits of representation by a powerful international union," said Capt. John Prater, president of ALPA. "We look forward to working with them to improve their careers and to the Colgan pilots' active participation in the Association's ongoing work to enhance the professional futures of all ALPA pilots." Capt. Mark Segaloff, one of the leaders of the Colgan Air Pilots ALPA Organizing Committee, added, "We thank all of our pilots who took the time to find out more about ALPA and to cast their vote in the election. Thanks as well to the many ALPA pilot volunteers who gave their efforts to the campaign. It is now our duty as Colgan pilots to take the unity we have built, along with ALPA's vast resources, and transfer that into negotiating a contract that we deserve." Colgan Air operates as Continental Connection, United Express, and US Airways Express from numerous bases in the Northeast and Texas. Approximately 450 pilots fly the Bombardier Q400, Saab 340, and Beech 1900 for Colgan. Founded in 1931, ALPA is the world's largest pilots union representing 53,000 pilots at 37 airlines in the United States and Canada.

Every Worker Counts This Christmas, Unite Tells Tesco
Every Worker Counts This Christmas, Unite Tells Tesco LONDON, December 18/PRNewswire/ -- - Attention: Photo Desks, News, Business and Food Correspondents
- National Demonstrations Continue Outside Tesco Stores, 11am Until 1pm
Unite, Britain's biggest union, will continue its national demonstrations
outside Tesco stores today (18th December, see notes to editors for
locations) to alert shoppers stocking up to feed the family this Christmas
about a lack of information on meat labels and the treatment of workers
employed by companies in the supply chain that produces meat for Tesco
stores.
Demonstrators will leaflet customers, accompanied by giant chickens,
outside nine Tesco stores across the country in London, Hove, Bristol,
Belfast, Cardiff, Kettering, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Leeds. The
demonstrators will hand out leaflets with a photograph of a Tesco meat
product to inform customers about what is not on the meat label. The union believes that retailers like Tesco are using imported meat from
countries like Thailand and the increase of cheap meat imports is
contributing to the driving down of conditions for low-paid workers in
Britain and Ireland, who are employed by companies in the meat supply chain. Consumers often do not know how long ago the meat product was
slaughtered, where it was cooked, or whether it has undergone preserving
processes such as chilling or freezing either before or after it has been
cooked. The label often does not say. Unite has presented Tesco with evidence that workers employed by
companies in its UK supply chain are experiencing harsh and divisive
conditions that in some cases are abusive. The union believes that structural
discrimination exists in many parts of the supply chain that provides meat to
Tesco. Unite joint general secretary, Tony Woodley, said: "We believe that
Tesco's procurement practices are creating divisions between migrant and
indigenous workers across Britain and Ireland. The supermarket's desire to
source meat more cheaply is contributing to a race to the bottom in the UK
supply chain. But the meat label from products sourced overseas often does
not tell consumers what they should know about the meat product they are
buying. "It's time for Tesco to value its meat supply chain and make sure every
worker counts. The power is in the hands of Tesco to make a real difference. "Unite is calling on Tesco to use its influence to ensure companies in
its meat supply chain sign a minimum standards agreement and to establish
Tesco Ethical Model Factories." As an indication of the seriousness of Unite's claims, the powerful
Equality and Human Rights Commission has announced that it is to examine the
UK's multi-billion pound meat industry in England and Wales for evidence of
employment abuse and discrimination. The Tesco launch is part of an ongoing campaign by Unite to improve the
treatment of workers, including agency workers, in the UK supermarket supply
chain. Unite is concerned that agency workers are often on poorer conditions
of employment than core workers and the undercutting of directly-employed
workers has caused division in the workplace and damaged social cohesion. A permanent two tier workforce has opened up in the meat supply industry
in the UK, where mainly migrant agency labour are on worse terms and
conditions than directly employed staff often for doing the same job, causing
division in workplaces and communities. Dramatic casualisation of work so that hundreds of workers employed by
companies in the supply chain of meat to Tesco do not know day to day, or
week to week, what work they have and risk being punished for not using
agency housing or transport by the withdrawal of regular work. Notes to editors: All demonstrations will take place between 11am and 1pm on Thursday,
December 18th, 2008

The Equality and Human Rights Commission, established in 2007, is to use
its powers to undertake its first ever Inquiry into a key sector of the
economy. The Inquiry will consider the two-tier employment practices within
the meat supply chain, a significant industry employing some 40,000 workers
across Britain engaged in processing and packing meat for sale in
supermarkets and retailers across the British Isles.
The Commission will be examining the relationship between employment and
supply chain practices with forced down terms and conditions and abuse of
workers within the sector. In particular, the Commission will be examining
the differentials in treatment between agency and permanent workers, UK and
migrant workers, and the knock-on effect of this for community relations. Ethical Model Factories would be based on the belief that all workers
undertaking the same work, who are equally qualified, should be treated
equally from the commencement of employment, including being paid equally,
regardless of employment status. Unite is also committed to ensuring agency
workers have a route to permanent employment following 13 weeks of continuous
work. Source: Unite the Union For further information please contact Pauline Doyle, Unite press office, on +44(0)7976-832-861. -------

Rural/Metro Employee Shareholders Voice Concerns At Company's Annual Meeting
Rural/Metro Employee Shareholders Voice Concerns At Company's Annual Meeting SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) employed by the Rural/Metro corporation (NASDAQ:RURL) and members of Teamsters Local 375 attended the company's annual shareholders meeting. Employee shareholders expressed their frustration with the company's reluctance to bargain for improved wages as part of a new contract in the greater Buffalo, New York area, and asked questions about the Board of Directors' compensation agreement and the incentive plan for executives. Almost 400 EMTs and paramedics have been working in the Buffalo area with a contract extension that lasts through December. The city of Buffalo and surrounding towns contract with Rural/Metro for ambulance services. Rural/Metro pays emergency service professionals less on average than those working in other cities in western New York, such as Albany, Rochester and Syracuse. Voicing his concern about the apparent disconnect between upper management and the workers, Dennis Wellspeak, a 19-year Rural/Metro paramedic, represented by Teamsters Local 375, said, "We are on the front lines saving lives and don't even make the same wages as other paramedics and EMTs in the area. When the people running our ambulances are treated poorly it disrespects our whole community." The International Brotherhood of Teamsters was founded in 1903 and represents more than 1.4 million hardworking men and women in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

United Food and Commercial Workers of Michigan Endorse Cockrel for Mayor
United Food and Commercial Workers of Michigan Endorse Cockrel for Mayor MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United Food and Commercial Workers of Michigan endorsed current Detroit Mayor, Ken Cockrel, Jr. in his bid to move Detroit forward. This announcement was made today by Roger Robinson, UFCW Local 876 president and Marv Russow, UFCW Local 951 president. "There are several outstanding individuals interested in becoming the Mayor of Detroit," Robinson said. "However, we believe Mayor Cockrel's experience and commitment to working families make him the best candidate for the job. Mayor Cockrel also shares UFCW Michigan's commitment to improving access to quality grocery stores for Detroit's residents." Mayor Cockrel's relationship with UFCW Michigan dates back to his service in the Detroit City Council where he showed support and leadership for UFCW's initiative to bring community-based grocery stores to the city of Detroit. "As retail food workers and Detroit residents, UFCW members are very concerned about the lack of healthy grocery stores in the city," Russow said. "Mayor Cockerel shares our concern, and is supporting our community coalition's efforts to ensure grocers sell fresh, quality products at fair prices." A study commissioned by La Salle Bank deemed Detroit a "food desert," the term applied to an area that has no or very distant mainstream grocers. The study pointed out the strong statistical relationship between food and health, indicating Detroit residents will continue to have greater rates of premature illness and death compared to residents who live in areas with healthy food options, unless access to healthy food improves. More quality grocery stores mean more quality grocery stores for the city of Detroit. Madison Heights-based UFCW Local 876 and Grand Rapids-based UFCW Local 951 have a combined membership of approximately 50,000 workers, the majority of whom are retail grocery workers employed by Kroger, Meijer, Hiller's, Hollywood Supermarkets, Plumb's, Polly's, and Harding's. To provide their members with the strongest political voice possible, the two locals work together on all political efforts.

SEIU Janitors and Responsible Corporate Leaders Herald New Model for Making Health Care More Accessible and More Affordable
SEIU Janitors and Responsible Corporate Leaders Herald New Model for Making Health Care More Accessible and More Affordable HOUSTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SEIU janitors and corporate leaders joined together today to unveil the new Houston Service Workers' Clinic, a groundbreaking labor-business partnership that could provide a model for other cities also struggling with the crisis in health care. The clinic is a joint project between janitors and responsible business and community leaders -- including Cigna Health and Baylor College of Medicine -- to make health care more accessible for low-wage workers. It will provide quality, affordable care to more than 5,300 commercial office janitors for only $205 a month per worker -- less than one-third of a penny per square foot of rental space in downtown buildings. "This innovative program goes hand-in-hand with the mission of Baylor College of Medicine's Department of Family and Community Medicine to provide patient-centered medical care and serve as a force for promoting health in the community," said Dr. John C. Rogers, interim chair of the department. "This program offers a creative approach to bringing a new group into the ranks of the insured. Our physicians will offer the highest quality primary care and serve as a gateway for specialized care." Its unveiling comes as thousands of Houston janitors celebrate the anniversary of a month-long strike that put a human face on the city's healthcare crisis. "Two years ago I stood beside the Mayor and told the world 'Houston won big,'" said Mercedes Herrera, a Houston janitor who helped lead the workers' historic strike. "Today we celebrate another victory for Houston families as we open our health care clinic." Nearly 46 million Americans don't have health coverage, including one in three Houstonians. As health costs rise year after year, many more Americans risk losing their coverage. Seeking a national solution, SEIU is engaging healthcare workers through Healthcare United, voters through Americans for Health Care, plus business leaders and stakeholders from all walks of life. With 2 million members, SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors to improve their lives and the services they provide, SEIU is the largest healthcare union, including hospitals, nursing homes, and home care; the largest property services union, including building cleaning and security; and the second largest public employee union.

Leonard F. Woodcock and John Willard Marriott inducted into Labor Hall of Fame
Leonard F. Woodcock and John Willard Marriott inducted into Labor Hall of Fame WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao hosted the 20th Labor Hall of Fame induction ceremony of honorees Leonard F. Woodcock, former president of the United Auto Workers (UAW) and first U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of China, and John Willard "Bill" Marriott, the founder of Marriott International Inc. "These honorees were accomplished leaders who overcame adversity and made a positive difference in many ways and for many people," Secretary Chao said. "Mr. Woodcock was devoted to improving the lives of union members and was active in civil rights, education, health care and on behalf of missing American servicemen in Vietnam before he was appointed U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of China in 1979. Mr. Marriott built a company that employs hundreds of thousands of workers and was one of the very first to offer health care benefits because he believed that taking good care of workers is not just the right thing to do but a smart management strategy, too." Leonard Woodcock was born in 1911 in Providence, Rhode Island. He spent his early years in Germany where his father was assigned by his employer to install machinery at a factory. During World War I, he and his family were separated but reunited in England in 1918 where Leonard attended Chipsey preparatory school for the next eight years. The Woodcocks returned to America where Leonard pursued college and worked a series of low-wage jobs that opened his eyes to the working conditions of the time. He became a labor organizer during the Great Depression and continued with his passion to improve the lives of America's workers. Woodcock was a tough, shrewd and highly successful union negotiator, who was known as a well-prepared labor intellectual. This preparation and hard work helped him rise through the ranks of the UAW, beginning in 1940 when he accepted a position as staff representative for UAW local unions in western Michigan. Over time he became the obvious successor of Walter P. Reuther, who died in a plane crash in 1970. During Woodcock's presidency, UAW negotiations with General Motors (GM) failed and on Sept. 14, 1970, he led GM workers on a costly sixty-seven day strike, but in the end the UAW signed a contract restoring uncapped cost of living and other protections regardless of a worker's physical age. During the late 70s, Woodcock turned his attention to public policy and, on behalf of President Jimmy Carter, he led the primary negotiations to establish diplomatic relations with China. In 1979, Woodcock became the first U.S. Ambassador to China, serving until 1981. Never one to sit idle, Woodcock's final career began in 1982 as an adjunct professor of political science at the University of Michigan. He died at his Ann Arbor home on Jan. 16, 2001. John Willard "Bill" Marriott, the second of eight children, was born at Marriott Settlement, Utah, in 1900. His entrepreneurial spirit and skills were evident at an early age. Marriott began his first successful business venture at age 13, enlisting his young siblings to help grow lettuce on the family farm. He made $2,000 that summer and the next year his father gave him responsibility for the sale of 3,000 sheep. Marriott continued his entrepreneurial track by supporting himself with assorted jobs, including a regular summer stint selling woolen underwear to lumberjacks in the Pacific Northwest. In 1927, Marriott began what would become the genesis of his hospitality business, securing the A&W franchise for Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Md.; and Richmond, Va. From his initial Washington, D.C., franchise of nine-stools at 3128 14th Street, NW, to his death in 1985, Marriott pursued his company's expansion methodically and energetically. His success would not have been possible without his wife, the former Alice Sheets. They were married on June 9, 1927, followed by a honeymoon that consisted of a long, hot, bumpy drive in Marriott's Model T Ford from Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C., where they opened their first root beer stand together, later called the Hot Shoppe. It is said that Marriott rarely rested for 58 years - breathing, eating, living and dreaming Marriott almost 24 hours per day. The corporation grew internationally, with Marriott's hands-on management, but he always focused on the employees and the customers. Marriott constantly advised his managers to "take care of your employees and they'll take care of your customers." Never one to rest on his laurels, Marriott was a faithful servant to his church and his country. He gave time and money to support many causes, including those emphasizing education. Marriott also chaired two presidential inaugural committees and at the request of President Richard M. Nixon, Marriott organized a special "Honor America Day" in 1970. The Labor Hall of Fame established in 1989 by Friends of the Department and managed since 2000 by the Department of Labor honors posthumously those Americans who have contributed to the field of labor, including industry leaders, public officials and the American worker. The Labor Hall of Fame is located in the North Plaza of the U.S. Department of Labor and is open to the public. U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov.

Hoffa Says Tribune Workers Should Come First in Bankruptcy Court
Hoffa Says Tribune Workers Should Come First in Bankruptcy Court Official Statement of Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is an official statement from Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. "When billionaire Sam Zell took Tribune private in an overleveraged, doomed deal that swiftly brought down the 161-year-old media giant, the risks involved were placed squarely on the shoulders of Tribune workers. Now, as Tribune's creditors head to bankruptcy court for payback, these workers should go directly to the front of the line. By transferring 100 percent ownership of the company and some $13 billion of debt to an S-Corp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in the buyout, Zell insulated himself from tax responsibilities and mortgaged the future retirement savings of Tribune employees. Despite owning 100 percent of the company, employees were given no voice in the governance of the company or in the plan itself. They've had no say in the terms of their own debt obligations or decisions related to how best to service that debt. Tribune contributions to employee retirement savings for employee-owners changed from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan structured as the ESOP. Employees participating in the ESOP can't diversify their holdings until they reach age 55. The first of the company's contributions to the ESOP was expected to happen in the first quarter, but now -- with the Tribune mired in Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- it's unclear whether that will happen or whether those shares will have any value. Not everyone lost on the deal. Tribune executives made millions, including CEO Dennis FitzSimons, who engineered the deal with Zell and raked in $17.7 million in severance and other payments and cashed in his stock for $23.8 million. Shareholders traded in stock rated deep into junk territory for cash representing a 21 percent premium over the stock price just before the transaction. The banks that lent Tribune the money shared some $47 million in fees. Citigroup and Merrill Lynch who advised Tribune on the deal received $35.8 million and $37 million respectively. And billionaire Zell, who put up only $315 million in the deal, is expected to stand ahead of employees in the creditors' line at bankruptcy court. One thing is for sure -- the Teamsters will remain vigilant during the bankruptcy process to ensure that our members and all Tribune employee interests are advanced." The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents approximately 1,000 Tribune workers. Founded in 1903, the Teamsters Union represents more than 1.4 million hardworking men and women in the United States and Canada.

MassMutual Praises Congress for Passage of Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act
MassMutual Praises Congress for Passage of Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MassMutual Financial Group applauded today the unanimous passage by Congress of The Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act designed to provide temporary relief to retirees and employers sponsoring defined benefit pension plans. The White House has confirmed that President Bush will sign the legislation into law. The Act addresses the dramatic and unanticipated increases in pension funding requirements resulting from the current economic and market turmoil. Employers sponsoring defined benefit plans, including more than 400 MassMutual Retirement Services' defined benefit plan clients which are primarily small to mid-sized companies that span a range of industries and regions of the country, will benefit from these changes. The Act provides the necessary temporary assistance to employers to allow them to maintain their focus of job creation and economic stability while remaining on a path of sound pension funding. In addition to crucial temporary relief for sponsors of defined benefit plans, the measure also includes a provision to help retirees who have recently seen their retirement savings account balances decline. "Without speedy enactment of this legislation, more employers would have been unable to remain committed to the defined benefit system, weakening this important pillar of retirement security for millions of Americans," said Elaine Sarsynski, executive vice president of MassMutual's Retirement Services Division and chairman and CEO of MassMutual International LLC. MassMutual congratulates the 110th Congress on their action and expresses its appreciation to President Bush for agreeing to sign the legislation into law.

U.S. Labor Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards continues fiscal year with strong results
U.S. Labor Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards continues fiscal year with strong results Enforcement agency announces 5 criminal convictions and 8 indictments for November 2008 WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) today announced its criminal enforcement data for November 2008. During the month, OLMS obtained five convictions and eight indictments, and payments or orders of restitution totaled more than $891,000. The office's November results bring its totals for fiscal year 2009, which began on Oct. 1, 2008, to 18 indictments, 15 convictions and payments or orders of restitution of $1,516,522. The bulk of the cases involved the embezzlement of union funds. "OLMS kept up its enforcement efforts in November to prevent embezzlements and other crimes. While conditions in the economy might cause hardship and lead to the temptation to steal, we stand as committed as ever to pursue those who might abuse their positions of trust in labor unions," said Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor-Management Standards Don Todd. "OLMS's enforcement efforts last month yielded five convictions and payment or court orders for restitution approaching $900,000. These results ultimately benefit union members." OLMS is the federal law enforcement agency responsible for administering most provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). The agency's criminal enforcement program includes investigations of embezzlement from labor organizations, extortionate picketing, deprivation of union members' rights by force or violence, and fraud in union officer elections. The agency's civil program receives and publicly discloses unions' annual financial reports, conducts compliance audits of labor unions and seeks civil remedies for violations of officer election procedures. In certain cases, OLMS also conducts joint investigations with other Labor Department agencies, including the Employee Benefits Security Administration and the Office of Inspector General, as well as other law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. OLMS's public disclosure Web site at www.unionreports.gov contains union annual financial reports and additional reports required to be filed under the LMRDA as well as copies of collective bargaining agreements. Other information, including synopses of OLMS enforcement actions, is available at www.olms.dol.gov. Editor's Notes: A listing of selected OLMS enforcement actions during November 2008 accompanies this release. An indictment is the method by which a person is charged with criminal activity.

BBC's Island Parish Highlights Outdated Methodist Employment Practices
BBC's Island Parish Highlights Outdated Methodist Employment Practices LONDON, December 17/PRNewswire/ -- BBC TV's Island Parish programme about life on the idyllic Scilly Isles
has sparked debate over the way that the Methodist Church deploys its
ministers. Unite, the largest union in the country which has 2,500 faith worker
members, has now written to the 270,000-member Methodist Church in a bid to
improve and modernise their deployment practices. This follows a meeting
between Unite and The Connexion, the church's head office, over continuing
concerns. The matter centres on the case of Rev'd David Easton who was not
'invited' by his Scilly Isles' congregation to continue as their minister for
the next couple of years; an issue that Unite is increasingly dealing with
across the UK. Under the Methodist 'invitation' structure, a minister can be moved, with
the devastating knock-on effects for their family and the schooling of their
children. Reasons don't have to be given. Rev'd Dr Mike Bossingham, who runs the Unite Faith Workers' support line,
said: 'We receive calls every year about this process and the pain caused is
quite widespread. The Island Parish episode has highlighted the issue to a
much wider audience. 'I would say that nearly every Methodist minister, at some time, has been
hurt by this process. We certainly know of ministers who will not seek
re-appointment simply because they fear being wounded by the process. 'One of the problems is that in small circuits, such as the Isles of
Scilly, a handful of discontented people can get themselves elected to the
circuit meeting and flout the will of the vast majority. They are able to do
this without giving any reason and so the minister is left feeling bewildered
and betrayed. 'Even the church admits error in the 'invitation' process, little is done
to compensate the loss to the minister.' Unite has come up with a set of proposals to make the process fairer
which have been presented to Methodist Church leaders. These include:
- transparency and accountability in the 'invitation'
process, making it easier for the minister to remain in post, should
that be his calling
- the voting procedure needs to be reviewed
- those who vote against a minister should state their reasons
for doing so and the minister should be given a right of reply
- the minister should have a right of appeal.
Rachael Maskell, Unite's National Officer of the Community and Not for
Profit Sector said: 'It is ironic that an organisation which stands up for
justice and fairness around the world has such an unjust system embedded
within its own structures. We hope that the Methodist leadership will
modernise its employment practices on the advice of Unite.'

Bulmers Job Cuts a Body Blow to Hereford and Lacking Sense, Says Unite
Bulmers Job Cuts a Body Blow to Hereford and Lacking Sense, Says Unite LONDON, December 16/PRNewswire/ -- The announcement that 54 workers at the Bulmers bottling plant in
Hereford are to be made redundant has been decried by the workers' union,
Unite, as a body blow to the town. The decision was made by Bulmers parent company, Scottish and Newcastle,
which is cutting the jobs and moving the bottling process to its Tadcaster
plant in the north west. This is the second time that the company has
announced the closure of this part of the business. They now intend to review
all packaging positions, not just the bottling line, when selecting for
redundancy. Unite says the decision to cut jobs lacks sense given that the
plant is the most successful part of the brewing company in the UK. Commenting on the job losses, Simon Powell, Regional Industrial Officer
said: "This is a very heavy blow to the Bulmers workers and the people of
Hereford. Coming at this time of year, a great many workers and their
families are going to have a miserable Christmas and a gloomy start to 2009. "We have to question the decision of the management at group level in
taking capacity out of the Hereford plant as its cider product will now need
to be transported by road to Tadcaster adding to the global carbon foot
print. "Unite and local management representatives have put proposals to the
company that would save them well over one million pounds and make full use
of the Bulmers bottling line, yet they have still chosen to move business out
of the area. This makes no sense to us." Around 350 workers are employed at the Bulmers plant in Hereford, making
it one of the town's largest employers. The 54 workers facing redundancy have
been offered only 30 days notice. Unite believes the workers should be
entitled to the full 90 days given that this decision was not taken by local
Bulmers management but globally and the decision is part of a global
restructuring exercise. "Our priority now is to meet with management to tell them that we do not
accept their decision as it stands plus we are also extremely concerned that
they are offering only the local plant redundancy terms and the bare minimum
in redundancy notice. It is of paramount importance that we persuade Scottish
and Newcastle to observe best practice when it comes to consultation with the
workforce and redundancy terms," ended Simon Powell. Source: Unite the Union For further information contact Simon Powell on +44(0)1432-845-884
