'To keep workers in the dark like this is just not on'
LOCAL councillors are demanding face-to-face meetings with liquidators to thrash out a way forward for staff at Mortons Rolls after workers were issued with redundancy notices.
Councillor Carey said: “Folk deserve to know what’s going on and if their employment can be saved. To keep workers in the dark like this is just not on. We previously told how Mortons Rolls ceased operations after 58 years earlier this month after the firm collapsed into liquidation leaving jobs hanging in the balance.
He said: “A group of Glasgow business people are working hard on investment to take on Mortons Rolls as soon as possible. The Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise are working to make this happen and save the jobs. I’m very hopeful that these vital local jobs can still be saved - and work is ongoing to make this happen.”
“The liquidator in this case has a duty to engage with the workforce and to advise them on what recourse they have regarding redundancy, pay and pensions. I would also encourage any worker affected by this to contact PACE who will assist them with getting support.
