THE future is uncertain for workers at Wycombe's Littlewoods with the shock news this week that the new owners, Primark, have decided to sell the shop to a high street retailer instead of converting it into one of its flagship stores.
According to the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) staff may be able to transfer to a Primark in Buckinghamshire if there are suitable vacancies. Primark made a commitment to this policy. The union will make a case for staff to be taken on.
Usdaw spokesman Paul Clarke said: "If at the end of the process staff do face losing their jobs we'll make sure they get the best possible deal under the Littlewoods redundancy scheme."
