Description

Aerospace producer Rolls-Royce has announced that it is to cut 200 jobs at its factory in Renfrewshire.

Reportedly, this is due to difficult market conditions.

The workforce was informed of the changes in mid January, and trade union Unite called for urgent talks with management and support from the Scottish government.
