Unite is to investigate the contracts of members atprinters G&H Web Offset in Liverpool after all staff were sent home and told to return to work in two weeks.
A letter was sent to 36 employees at the G&H Print Services, formerly Gask & Hawley, subsidiary in which staff were informed that the plant would be closing for two weeks due to the loss of two major contracts.
They were told to return to work on 13 May 2010 but will be kept informed about the situation in the meantime.
Unite regional officer Alison Jones: "The company says it can lay off staff; we are investigating whether there is a lay-off clause in the members contracts. Although a two-week lay-off is a major financial hardship, they are looking longer term - there is a major concern there." Jones said that the company had agreed to meet her next week before a chapel meeting.
