food - united york campaign
WORKERS, JULY 2004 ISSUE
Workers at Nestlé Rowntree sweet factory in York have joined the campaign of Terry's chocolate factory workers in trying to keep the 250-year-old industry in the city.
Petitions and public campaigning by the GMB are trying to persuade US-owned Kraft to relocate the factory to a purpose-built site in the York district. This would free up the centrally located works for redevelopment, while at the same time preserving the industrial base of York.
