Mark Todd – Usdaw national officer says: “Yodel’s proposal to close their Shaw site is a devastating blow for staff and the wider community. Usdaw will now enter into meaningful consultation talks with the company, where we will interrogate their business case for this closure and seek the best possible outcome for our members. In the meantime, we are providing our members with the support, advice and representation that they need at this difficult time.”
