Fifty workers have been put at risk of redundancy just weeks before Christmas. Employees<\/a> at the SecAmin site in Widnes<\/a> are under threat of losing their jobs after the festive season, the GMB Union<\/a> said.<\/p>\n The firm processes animal by-products and produces renewable energy. Workers<\/a> including engineers and forklift drivers are at risk at the site on Desoto Road.<\/p>\n The GMB Union<\/a> said representatives would now meet with bosses<\/a> at the firm to discuss ways to minimise compulsory redundancies and ways to support and retrain workers who do lose their jobs.<\/p>\n Local MP Derek Twigg described the proposed redundancies as “absolutely devastating” as he urged the firm to safeguard jobs.<\/p>\n Tim Collins, GMB Regional Organiser, said: “These are skilled jobs – and workers at the site have worked there their whole lives as did their parents and grandparents before them.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s utterly wrong the company has made this decision with such short notice, right before the festive period. It\u2019s the worst possible Christmas present for these workers and SecAmin should be supporting them during this awful time.”<\/p>\n
