Tata’s bid to buy Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford has been boosted by backing from British transport worker’s union Unite, which represents employees of the two companies.
Union leaders made their position clear after meeting with potential new owners including Tata, rival Indian firm Mahindra & Mahindra and One Equity Partners, an outfit led by former Ford CEO Jack Nasser.
After questioning all three potential owners about their plans for Jaguar and Land Rover, including the possibility of moving jobs abroad, Unite stated that Tata served “the best interests of union members at Jaguar-Land Rover”.
While the union can’t prevent any potential sale, its backing is an important political factor when considering any deal.
