Griffins Decision Upsetting For Workers

“Griffins proposal to close its manufacturing plant will be felt by both the workers there, and the wider Lower Hutt community,” CTU secretary Carol Beaumont said tonight.

“Lower Hutt is a strong centre of manufacturing, and has suffered a number of job losses in recent years.”

“This announcement will be extremely distressing for the workers on site, who have very real concerns about the influence of private equity on their security of work.”

“The food manufacturing industry is a vital part of the New Zealand economy.  Ultimately it would be very upsetting to see these jobs go,” Carol Beaumont said.
