Job Losses In Dundee West
EDM number 1826 in 2005-06, proposed by Jim McGovern on 16/03/2006.
That this House is extremely concerned at the decision of Tesco to cut over 400 jobs in Dundee and to close its Dundee depot; notes that this was a unilateral decision taken without consultation with the trade unions, Scottish Enterprise Tayside, representatives from Dundee City Council, Dundee Chamber of Commerce nor the local politicians in Dundee; condemns this action as showing lack of respect to the city of Dundee; believes that the workers who are losing their jobs should either be relocated with the same terms and conditions of employment or offered an equitable redundancy package; supports the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers in its efforts to ensure this happens; and calls on Tesco to engage constructively with the unions and local politicians in order to salvage some positive outcome from this announcement.
This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
