UNIONS representing hundreds of workers at an under-threat biscuit factory in Glasgow are demanding bosses engage with attempts to save jobs in a detailed proposal backed by politicians and staff.
Nearly 500 jobs are at risk at the McVitie’s factory in Tollcross, which opened nearly 100 years ago in the city’s East End.
