McVities Tollcross has a proud history and heritage in the city of Glasgow and has served many communities with jobs and also kept the whole nation fed with great branded biscuits like Digestives and Hobnobs. 

It was announced to the workforce during world mental health week that the plan for the factory was to wind down and close with the loss of nearly 500 jobs. As you can imagine the workforce were shocked and left devastated at the news. 

Our aim as workers is to fight for alternative ways to keep the factory viable rather than close. We ask you to sign the petition and ask Pladis to think again at the impact of closure not just on the workers but on the communities it serves. The workforce have been loyal to Pladis and worked as key workers throughout the pandemic.

Thank you.
