GMB pledges to resist job losses at Pilkington Glass

Date: 31 January 2013

GMB has pledged to resist compulsory job losses and changes to pensions at Pilkington Glass.The union has more than 500 members in St Helens and is undertaking a consultative ballot on proposed changes to pensions that could reduce final pensionable pay by between 20-40%.

Pilkington has announced a reduction of 33 jobs at Watson Street Works and 87 jobs at Float Works (which comprises of Greengate and the Cowley Hill sites).This situation has been brought about by a drop for demand within the Float Glass market and also a collapse in Solar Glass.
