JDE workers with brollies hold a demonstration today (Saturday) outside the Ruscote Avenue main gate
Their clarification came after a misunderstanding about whether claims made that there had been a 'shut down' had meant the entire factory had been brought to a standstill. The claims had referred to a halt within the coffee processing plant in which the Banbury 300 work.

As confirmed in the statement previously, our priority is always to operate our factory in a way that protects everyone’s health and safety."
