Show support for BMW workers in Oxford, UK

From a gamer in Oxford, UK

See this fascinating video of hundreds of Oxford BMW Mini plant workers getting the sack with just one hour’s notice. A manager gets up on the stage and reads the terms of redundancy for the 850 associate and agency workers, some who have been working there for years. They are informed they would be getting 4 weeks pay in lieu of notice. The crowd starts to grumble when certain limitations are placed on pay claims. They are then informed that they have to turn in their work clothes right away or face a £25 deduction. A worker shouts “They just spit you out onto the street naked!”

Getting the sack and being made redundant are not the same thing. And If they "have been working there for years" they are entitled to more than 4 weeks redundancy pay, and should take legal action if that's all they are getting.

It's hard times for allot of people, and this isn't a rare occurrence.

Surely that is ilegal to do that kind of thing to workers.
