UK / Honda workers get redundancy letters

YESTERDAY was described as a dark day for Swindon, after letters went out to employees of Honda informing them they have been provisionally selected for compulsory redundancy.

It is believed that more than 100 letters have gone out to indirect staff – those who don’t work on the production line – and the mood at the car plant in South Marston is said to be at an all-time low.

Honda has said that the number of compulsory redundancies set to be made is expected to be limited, after a positive response to the voluntary redundancy programme, but a lot of people left work yesterday unsure about their future.
