Redundancy controversy

The closure of British Bakeries factory on Thornton Road in Bradford was justified by the relatively small size of the factory, compared to its counterpart at the other side of town, as well as other factories, as well as the £6 million repair quote for the roof. 70 staff were made redundant, including many apprentices, who received completion of their training as part of their redundancy package. The move was highly criticised by Trade Unions. However, no industrial action was taken.
