GMB Regional Organiser Lisa Ryan said: “This decision will leave many workers feeling frustrated and worried. In the run up to Christmas last year, GMB members at the site were on the picket line fighting for better pay. The workers won the pay they deserved.
“And for this Christmas their reward is redundancies. Jacobs have sunk to new lows. We will fight tooth and nail for the best outcome for Jacob’s workers.”
