The Unite union are organising a bus trip to lobby the government and MPs as part of their campaign to protect jobs and investment at Cadbury’s Bournville factory and other their other UK facilities.

Tomorrow is the day that a majority of shareholders are likely to agree to Kraft’s takeover. Unite fear that the debt incurred by Kraft, estimated to be around £22 billion, will force them to make savings through cuts.  In their press release Unite say: “Kraft has declined to provide details of its plans and to give the workforce confidence that they will not be facing the axe.”

Transport details: Two coaches have been arranged for Tuesday 2nd February and will pick up at Cadbury’s Bournville site at 7.45am and drop off at Victoria Tower Gardens, near the House of Lords SW1. Return at approximately 2.30pm.

The contact, should you wish to join the coach or are looking for further information is John Flavin – Unite convenor at Cadbury (07966 723 451 or 0121 451 4000 Ex 3701).
