Steelworkers’ union says GFG Alliance’s plan for Aartee Bright Bar could help protect jobs

Community March 14, 2023

In response to the GFG Alliance’s plan for Aartee Bright Bar (ABB), Roy Rickhuss CBE, General Secretary of Community trade union, said:

“The plan presented today by GFG  for ABB could help protect vital jobs and the future of the business.

“We are hopeful that the court will listen carefully to this proposal and consider any alternatives that avoid redundancies and protects the loyal workforce.”
