Food manufacturing giant Kraft Heinz has blamed its workers after pulling a promised £140 million investment from its Wigan factory.
The investment would have brought ketchup production back to the UK and created 50 jobs at the food processing plant in Kitt Green, Orrell. Instead the money will now be invested in sites in Alfaro, Spain and Pudliszki, Poland.
Workers' union Unite slammed the decision and described it as a 'disgraceful betrayal'. Unite also asked Heinz for 'cast-iron reassurances' about the future of the site, following the news.
