That the Parliament acknowledges the plight of the workers from the company, Kaiam Livingston, who have been left without wages after the company announced without notice that staff would not receive their December wages due to a lack of company funds; notes that the workers were also given the devastating news that they were likely to face significant job losses in the New Year, as the future of the company is not clear; believes that its action has left many of its workforce and their families desolate and without money for food or bills at this precious time of year, and has left them with an agonising wait for information about their pay and the future of their jobs; considers the company's actions deplorable and a breach of workers’ rights, and asks the Scottish Government to ensure that it is fully engaged with national agencies and local organisations to seek fairness and justice for Kaiam workers.
