WORKERS on the vacuum cleaner production line at the Dyson factory in Mal-mesbury have expressed their anger at forthcoming redundancies.
Next Friday, September 27 at 7am, 590 people will lose their jobs because vacuum cleaner manufacturing is being moved to Malaysia.
Workers at the factory remain incensed at the way the firm has treated them.
First news of the redun-dancies was released to the workers in February and some have been waiting for the axe since then.
The Malmesbury plant made 8,000 vacuum cleaners a day and the company launched its vacuum cleaners in America last month.
A spokesman for Dyson said: "Malmesbury is an important area to the company. Our Research and Development and washing machine production will continue to employ 1,000 people.
"The redundancy pack-ages were worked out by a group of management and employees and are above the statutory minimum payout."
The move is part of a global strategy and will safeguard jobs in the future, said the firm.
Dyson has put in an out-line planning application to North Wiltshire District Council to use a 97-space car park and a secondary entrance on the south east side of the Malmesbury plant to build houses.
