"We are committed to our three spirits bottling sites in Europe – two in Scotland and one in Italy. The outcomes of this review will ensure we have the flexibility to respond to increased competition and external volatility, alongside testing and building the capability we need across our global supply chain to grow our brands." Union GMB Scotland accused the UK Government of "a gross betrayal" of drinks manufacturing workers after Diageo announced the plans. Workers and trade unions said they were informed that 70 redundancies would be made at Diageo's Leven plant, in Fife, and a further 35 redundancies at its Shieldhall site, near Glasgow. GMB Scotland warned the UK Government's Scottish secretary David Mundell earlier this year about the need for special measures to protect Scotland's drinks manufacturing sector against the backdrop of Brexit uncertainty. GMB Scotland organiser Louise Gilmour accused the Government of having been "asleep at the wheel".
