BMW's decision to sack 850 agency employees at its Cowley factory in Oxford, giving many of them only an hour's notice and with no intention to offer any of them a penny in redundancy pay, is an act of sheer industrial brutality. This is no way to deal with the worldwide difficulties in the motor industry.  

Please sign the petition and join the campaign to get BMW to treat people with respect, to put people before profit and to save manufacturing in this country.

We the undersigned believe BMW’s actions at Cowley are unacceptable. We call upon BMW to reverse its decision to sack 850 workers and immediately enter into a dialogue with employees and their union about the future of the plant.
