worker who has worked at the company for 10 years said they are feeling "a lot of emotions" after hearing the news from GMB."At least now we all know where we stand. Dreading going into work this morning. My heart goes out to all my fellow Wilko family."
A third staff member said: "It’s like the staff don’t matter. Well we do matter and every one of us is hurting. "So, if you visit any Wilko store for your bargains please be kind to the staff - none of this is our fault."Several rival chains have told staff at the struggling company that jobs are available to them.
