ASDA has announced plans to close its home shopping centre support facility in Enfield.
GMB, the union representing affected Asda employees, has been on site throughout the day to support members as they were informed of the news.
Asda, which recently announced a proposed merger with Sainsbury’s, had previously made reassurances to its workforce that no jobs would be lost and no stores or depots would close during the transition period. Asda however, appears to have decided to start this proposal which could result in the loss of 254 jobs.
Keith Dixon, GMB regional organiser said: “We are disappointed to hear that Asda have felt the need to start this proposal despite reassurances that there would be no depot or store closures. The proposal to close the Asda Enfield Home Shopping Centre is one that is likely to have a negative effect on our members and the local economy.
