Former HES staff 'turning to foodbanks' after redundancy

Former staff of a Lanarkshire-based clinical waste firm say they are turning to food banks because they are unable to claim lost pay.

Healthcare Environmental Services (HES) in Shotts served all its staff with redundancy notices on 27 December.

Garry Hawthorn, Frankie McGinnes and Sheryl Alexander are among a group of HES workers who met at the Salvation Army hall in Shotts to discuss what to do next.
