| Remploy workers protest to save their jobs |
Not satisfied with closing down the majority of its
factories on the spurious grounds of cost, Remploy continues to denigrate its erstwhile
manufacturing arm.
Recently a friend of mine visited Remploy’s Union Street,
Waterloo, branch. This friend works in human resources for one of the country’s
leading supermarkets which is looking to take on workers who come through
Remploy Employment Services.
One of the visitors from another supermarket raised a
question about the factory closures; curious as to why when disabled people
found getting into work so difficult had the factories been closed.
The representative from Remploy replied that gender
segregation was being practiced in the factories. Apparently men worked in one
site and women on a separate site! Believe it or not there were a lot of tut
tuts and shaking heads at this news.
Well, if you’re going to tell a lie make sure it’s a big
one.
