Clothing - Burberry campaign continues
WORKERS, JAN 2007 ISSUE
GMB members employed at Burberry clothing factory in South Wales are continuing their campaign to prevent the factory relocating to China with the loss of 300 jobs. Burberry, which describes its products as "quintessentially British", seems to think that production in China is acceptable and desirable.
Ironically, Charles, Prince of Wales, has raised concerns with the government, as has the local MP, Peter Hain – but he would as he also could lose his job!
The GMB is trying to get the fashion and celebrity conscious to support the members and keep the famous name and design in Britain.
