Unite response to Stellantis Luton van plant closure threat

Responding to the announcement today that Stellantis is proposing to close its van plant in Luton, a Unite spokesperson said:

“The proposal that has been tabled today has been a complete slap in face for our members in Luton, where Vauxhall vehicles have been manufactured for 120 years. Whatever the positive benefits this plan may have for Ellesmere Port, that is not acceptable.

“We stand ready to support our members in doing whatever we can to ensure that historical vehicle manufacturing is maintained in Luton and we call on the government to do the same.”
