Petition to: Stop the closure of Remploy Factories and the privatisation of Remploy Employment Services.

The government has not only ignored the 100,000 plus signature petition but has announced the closure 36 of the 54 remaining Remploy sites with compulsory redundancy for 1,752 people of which 1,518 of these are disabled by 17th August this year (2012). 

The government statement envisages the complete closure of the remaining factories in due course. Please continue to sign the petition with messages of support for the Remploy workers.

GMB is working hard to keep the factories open but need all the help you can give. With two million disabled workers already out of work why on earth do the government need to sack another 1,518. Surely they could concentrate on finding work for the 2 million.

Good idea Government!! Lets shut down factories where people are gainfully employed, relegating them to having to claim benefits you don't want them on or will tell them they're not entitled to.
