Keep Diageo jobs in Scotland
Diageo, the immensely wealthy and highly profitable drinks transnational, has announced in excess of 900 job losses in the Scottish home of the famous Johnny Walker brand with the closure of the Kilmarnock packaging plant and the distillery in Port Dundas, together with redundancies on other sites and outsourcing of part of their logistics operations. Last year, Diageo made a cool £2,226 million in profits and CEO Paul Walsh walked home with a fat £5 million in his pay packet, yet now they want to cut Scotland's jobs to make more profits. Unite, together with GMB, have launched a major campaign against the job cuts and trade unionists everywhere can help by writing to CEO Paul Walsh to urge him to think again.
