Nearly 100 workers at a hotel that has been earmarked to house hundreds of asylum seekers are understood to have been told they will be losing their jobs. Staff at Llanelli's Stradey Park Hotel are claimed to have been called to meetings on Tuesday (June 27) to be told they would be made redundant from July 10.
Llanelli MP, Dame Nia Griffith, branded the news "outrageous" and one worker has described the shock felt as they were told the news. It's understood 50 full-time and 45 part-time staff are affected.
It's understood that senior staff members, who have also been made redundant, had been sent an email by the hotel owners giving instructions about how to deliver the news to staff.
