• Commercial vehicle manufacturer and aircraft refurbisher Marshalls of Cambridge will be taken to an industrial tribunal unless it extends the consultation period it gives its workforce's union for 180 staff redundancies.
The Transport & General Workers Union says Marshal's should have given it at least 90 days consultation because there are more than 99 staff involved. But the Cambridgeshire-based firm says that the redundancies are at two separate companies— Marshall SPV and Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace—and so it only has to give a legal minimum of 30 days consultation for each set of 90 cuts (CM 30 Sept-6 Oct).
Disappointing sales are blamed for the cuts in Marshall SPY, which bought design rights from ailing manufacturer AWD after it allied in the receiver last year.
