WORKERS angry at job cuts at GlaxoSmithKline's Ware site are to hold a protest in the town on Saturday.
Threatened employees have organised themselves into a campaign group called the Ware Unite and Fight Group.
According to the Socialist Party website senior shop stewards seem resigned to the planned job cuts, which will see Ware's biggest employer axe 600 jobs at the Priory Street manufacturing plant in a 'restructuring programme'.
It seems that despite union representatives' stance "these workers want to fight".
They plan to leaflet the site and erect a stall in the town centre outside Tesco.
The group has drawn up a list of demands which includes: "no to compulsory redundancies, unite to organise a workplace meeting to listen to the members' views, democratic elections of all shop stewards' positions, and no preferential agreements with outside non-union companies."
They also plan to hold a public meeting on February 18 at The Drill Hall, in Amwell End.
