B&M has bought 51 locations but hasn't agreed to transfer the workers
A union has slammed B&M over its move to buy 51 Wilko stores but leave the future of workers in the balance. Around 1,000 jobs are at risk at shops bought by B&M in a deal earlier this week, the PA news agency understands.
The GMB union, which represents more than 3,000 Wilko staff, called on B&M to explain why it has opted against saving the jobs of workers at those shops. Andy Prendergast, GMB national officer, said: “The fact the deal with B&M is for physical stores only is frankly baffling. The locations of 51 shops bought by B&M have not been announced. On Tuesday, administrators also said 52 other Wilko stores will close next week after they were unable to secure a deal to save the whole business.
