COMMENT

The trade unions Unite and GMB have a meeting with Economy Secretary Keith Brown next week. Bifab said: “As we approach the end of the current project – and no further work is currently secured beyond, Bifab are going through a natural down-manning process and as such, through our statutory obligation we issue HR1 forms to notify the government of potential redundancies to permanent staff, where numbers proposed could exceed 20

“Time is running out now. Surely it’s not beyond the company, its partners, the unions and the government to seek out a solution to the latest crisis”
