Robert Sturdy hopes Vauxhall jobs in Luton will be saved
Following news that General Motors plans to cut 354 jobs at its Vauxhall plant in Luton, Conservative MEP for the Eastern Region Robert Sturdy said,
“This regrettable news will mean that it will be a Bleak Christmas for some. It is a real shame that job cuts look likely.
“I hope that, following local consultation with plant and trade union leadership, that no further job cuts will be made and that GM keep their word and ensure that the plant continues to support the local community.
“Today’s news, while devastating to those involved could have been a lot worse if GM had of been sold off completely.”
