Commenting on the news of jobs losses at Calsonic Kansei, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Business, Economy and Infrastructure, Russell George AM, said:
“It is sad to hear that Calsonic have taken this decision and the impact this will have on the staff and their families, as well as the wider community.
“The world-wide reorganisation of the car industry is continuing to affect hard-working people in Wales. The Welsh Labour-led Government needs to ensure that as a country we have the necessary skills and opportunities to attract companies to Wales, providing skilled long-term jobs and that in-work training opportunities are offered to employees that aren’t just on management and leadership.
“It is worrying that once again the Welsh Government were looking to give a grant to pay for new jobs to be created, instead of focussing of how to attract businesses to Wales, as well as boosting existing businesses, and I would urge the First Minster to stop dithering on the M4 relief road and finally make a decision to show the world that Wales is open for business.”
