Unite demands ‘urgent meeting’ with Greene King
British cross-border train fares far outstrip flights, ranking among Europe’s worst
UNITE demanded an “urgent meeting” with beer barons Greene King yesterday after it emerged that the company is being taken over by a property developer.
The union has demanded the company assure workers that their jobs will be secured after it was announced the brewery has been sold to CK Asset Holdings for £2.7 billion.
The Suffolk-based company, which was founded in 1799, currently owns around 2,700 pubs across the country.
