Boycott criticism spurs on Peugeot protests
Unions representing the sacked Peugeot workers at its Ryton plant have shrugged off criticism from government and forged ahead with their dealership protests.
Workers were set to demonstrate outside the Beechwood Motors dealership in Coventry today. Unions opted to continue their struggle despite condemnation from Labour ministers in parliament this week over the unions’ call to boycott Peugeot and Citroen models. Unions reiterated their call for the manufacturer to “sit down and negotiate” possible alternatives to the complete closure of Ryton.
