I REFER to the article regarding our local MPs' support for the Nestle workers facing the axe (Sweet talking, November 9).
As a British Sugar employee for the past 35 years, and part of the Amicus union that fought in vain to stop the closure of the York Sugar plant, I am appalled at the lack of support that the 102 employees of British Sugar have received from our local dignitaries.
If we hadn't had the full support of the Amicus and GMB unions, we would have ended our working life at British Sugar with very little to live on.
It would appear that from the July 4 closure announcement, the media coverage from our local MPs was aimed for their own gains, and not for the 102 employees who will be out of work next July.
