twinings workers

Pictured above are Twinings workers outside Andover's Guildhall before the packed public meeting on 19 January 2010.

129 jobs are at risk in Andover as Twinings, part of the UK-based multinational ABF, threatens to transfer the bulk of their manufacturing to China and Poland.

The company also proposes to close its North Shields plant with a loss of 263 jobs.

Workers at both plants are represented by USDAW.Contact details and more information are available at www.savetwiningsjobs.co.uk - please check it out and also see if your MP has signed up to the Early Day Motion (EDM 200).
