'Shafted': Roberts Bakery rescue deal leaves dozens unpaid with no redundancy

Roberts Bakery Workers Left Unpaid

Dozens of Roberts Bakery workers have lost their redundancy packages and pay already earned after the firm was bought and renamed by a billionaire food magnate.

In July, the struggling Frank Roberts & Sons, the bakery's parent firm, announced 250 workers were entering a compulsory redundancy consultation period. It is understood 86 of these workers were deemed surplus to requirements, and their contractual notice periods were enacted.

The length of these notice periods varied for each worker, depending on the length of time they had worked for the 138-year-old company.

No comment from the billionaire food magnate was available.
