TRADE unionists are organising with local health services to support workers whose mental health has suffered through Ford’s decision to “walk away” from its factory in Bridgend.

MPs belonging to the Welsh affairs select committee heard from GMB and Unite union officials yesterday as well as local Labour councillor Huw David and Ford of Europe chairman Steven Armstrong.

Over 1,700 jobs have been put at risk by the proposed 2020 closure of the factory, announced in June.
