Woodley call for urgent Government action to save car jobs.

UK car plant 'at risk of closure'

From the BBC -

A UK car plant that directly and indirectly employs more than 6,000 people may be forced to close within days, Unite joint leader.

Tony declined to name the facility in question, but said it needed urgent state aid to stay open.

"We've got a car plant that, within just a couple of days, would have run of cash and needs serious financial help to stop over 6,000 people losing their jobs," said Mr Woodley. He said the government had to act to prevent "a catastrophe".

New car production in the UK fell dramatically in January from a year earlier, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
