Worried McCain workers have told of their anguish after the company revealed plans to axe up to 120 jobs at its Wombourne chip factory.
Staff were left stunned after being told on Monday that French fry production at the factory, which employs 240 people, was set to be moved to another site in the UK.
A union official today described the bombshell as a huge blow and said staff were told it was sparked by mounting pressure on the frozen food giant by people living near the plant.
