The General Workers’ Union said it will not be accepting dismissals from Go plc.

The union’s statement follows a declaration by the company’s management that its workforce had to be reduced by 350.

The union said that a meeting of the Go Workers’ Central Committee this afternoon decided that the GWU should request a meeting of the consultative committee which was made up of union officials and top management to clarify the situation.

This was in view of a letter sent to workers on Wednesday reminding them of the company’s voluntary early retirement scheme.

The committee also decided to encourage the company’s other unions to unite in one front to safeguard the workers’ jobs
