Unite To Meet Kraft Next Week

Unite will meet bosses of food firm Kraft next week. Cadbury has turned down Kraft's £9.8bn ($16.4bn) takeover offer but it will now go to shareholders to look at.

National Officer Jennie Formby said the union would not be "fobbed off" with "bland assurances" about investment. Jennie said: "We are not just going to take bland assurances of 'don't worry, your jobs will be safe with us and we will make investments. We have sought concrete guarantees for five years for jobs, sites, terms and conditions, pensions and so on and we are not going to be fobbed off with something that is just paying lip service to that."
