MPs Angela Rayner and Andrew Gwynne have issued a statement after a huge food supplier in Ashton-under-Lyne announced plans to close its site - putting nearly 550 jobs at risk.
Pilgrims UK, one of the Britain's largest pork providers, is proposing to shut its Dukinfield base, as it cited current unfavourable market conditions in the country as a driving factor.
The proposals mean that all 542 staff employed at the site on Bow Street have been told they are at risk of redundancy. The company said it had entered into a consultation process with employees.
