US-based MG plant meets with union anger
Nanjing’s announcement that it intends to build up to 16,000 MG models each year at a new US car plant has angered UK trade unions.
The Transport and General Workers Union said it expressed “surprise and concern” on hearing the news.“There has been no consultation with us about this,” said Dave Osborne, T&G national secretary for the car industry.
“The T&G is calling for an urgent meeting with the company to find out exactly what they are now planning for car making in the UK.”
