Construction union Ucatt has expressed concern for the future of its members at the company and is seeking urgent answers. Ucatt understands that Harte will formally enter administration this week and up to 700 jobs could go should no buyer be found.
Ucatt regional secretary Harry Frew said: “It’s extremely disappointing to hear that WJ Harte is facing such difficulties threatening hundreds of jobs. We hope that a buyer can be found and jobs preserved. Ucatt is seeking a meeting with the administrators to establish what the future holds for our members.”
Mr Frew added: “The impact of these potential job losses across central Scotland will be a major blow to workers and their families. It is imperative that everything is done to safeguard these valuable construction jobs.”
