KANE DEMANDS McCONNELL ACTS IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE ONEPLUS
JOBS AND SERVICES.
Jack Mc Connell must take immediate action to safeguard vital services for single parents jobs at OnePlus, Glasgow MSP Rosie Kane has demanded to day.
Scottish Socialist Kane is to question the First minister on the crisis which will effect 600 workers and over 10,000 service users in Holyrood this week.
Kane said:
“The Scottish Executive have been aware of this crisis since December 2006 and have failed to act. The first priority must be to safeguard these vital services and that jobs that provide them.
The £2 million pound cost to save the much needed organisation will be dwarfed by the millions a closure will cost but that is to say nothing of the of the devastation this will create for vulnerable service users which includes the elderly, disabled and many thousands of children.
It is ironic that the funding needed to keep one plus in business is £2 million – the same cost as the Executives campaign on how to wash your hands. Does Jack Mc Connell intend to wash his hands of the service users and jobs at OnePlus”
