220 workers are set to lose their jobs after manufacturer Kimberly-Clark Australia announced it will close their Sydney Huggies Nappy factory in July.
The company said they will move production of Huggies nappies from their Ingleburn Mill factory to Asia to enable faster access to new research and advancements in nappies and pants.
The CFMEU’s Manufacturing Union is appealing to the Federal Government to keep the site open, and said in a statement the site is still profitable.
