Cooper Tire and Rubber Company in Melksham, Wiltshire wants to cut the jobs over the next 10 months from a workforce of 732.

In a meeting held on Wednesday workers were given letters stating the site "was an older, smaller facility that did not offer economies of scale".

Bosses are now consulting with the trade union Unite over redundancies and jobs available at its other sites.

How is this a Tory fault?
 
Do you care to explain? Because Cooper Tire is a American owned company. Is it being moved to another country where wages are less?
so are living costs just caught tail end the closed bit. thought they were british sorry for mistake folks

Here is the reason. Why let a unprofitable plant/Facility drag down a whole company?

"Unfortunately, the Melksham site... is the highest cost facility in the global Cooper network."

Cooper tyres were bought out by an Indian company in 2013.

on the news tonight another British firm fallen victim to Tory austerity

Unless the government owned and subsidised the company then I would hardly blame a government for the fat trimming of a private business operating within the realms of our "free market" economy.

It is a shame that the company has to consider 300 redundancies but it would be for light vehicle tyres and there would still be almost 500 people still employed at the plant.
