Thousands of jobs are at risk in the rail manufacturing sector, including at Hitachi and Alstom, due to government negligence. Calls for action have been made to preserve skilled jobs and protect the British train manufacturing industry. The government has been urged to support rail manufacturing and convene a summit involving unions, businesses, and local communities to save these crucial jobs.
πOn Tuesday I asked the Government for an update on the crisis facing Hitachi in Newton Aycliffe. πThe Government's record where North East industry is concerned is a shambles. They must act quickly to ensure that we do not lose yet another vital asset https://t.co/zi7O4W1YF6
π I appreciate the government's engagement in addressing concerns about future orders at Hitachi, which I raised in the Chamber yesterday with the Rail Minister. It's unfortunate that some discussions have been overly politicised, potentially complicating matters further. https://t.co/Gesy1vI2b5
The Govt have intervened directly to keep Train Operating Companies going, & Rolling Stock Companies have made huge profits. I challenged the Minister to directly support Rail Manufacturing & convene a summit of Unions, businesses, & local communities to save these crucial jobs. https://t.co/sAI0OwIliT
It is a disgrace that thousands of jobs remain at risk due to government negligence. Ministers must finally act to guarantee the future of rail manufacturing in the North East. https://t.co/L11UkVmPXD
