Vauxhall: urgent talks call

Following the meeting between Unite general secretary Len McCluskey, the President of General Motors, Dan Ammann and the secretary of state Greg Clark, the union’s leader said, “My immediate priority now is to understand where Peugeot is now in this process, which is why I am contacting the CEO of the company, Carlos Tavares, to request urgent talks.

“Unite is committed to talking to all the concerned parties in the UK, Germany and France to ensure that the case for the UK workers is pressed at the highest levels.  But I also say this; our government should demand that whenever the car makers are meeting with the French and German governments, then the UK government must be at the same table.”
