Submission Documents: Emergency motion by Councillor Laura Doherty:- "Council expresses its deep regret and concern at the announcement that the Pladis McVitie's factory in Tollcross may close with the potential loss of almost 500 jobs. Council notes that this factory is one of the biggest employers in the area; has provided generations of jobs for local people in the east end; and that the potential loss of these jobs will have a devastating impact on the workers, their families and the local economy. Council notes that the Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise and Glasgow City Council have formed a taskforce to explore options for retaining these jobs and securing the future of the factory and the site. Council believes that Pladis has an obligation to the workers and the wider east end community to explore every option for securing a positive future for the factory and instructs the Leader of the Council to write to the Managing Director to urge the company to actively engage with the taskforce. Council further instructs the Leader and Chief Executive of the Council to continue to work to try to retain these jobs and secure a sustainable future for the Tollcross site, and to work closely with local elected members in doing so."
