SIR – Notwithstanding Morrisons Supermarkets’ current national profile,it is disappointing to read in the T&A (September 21) that they plan to export 215 jobs to India.

Present staff may be “redeployed”, but the bottom line is that 215 jobs will be going from Bradford.

Whatever the views of present-day management, from wherever they have been recruited, Morrisons will always remain a Bradford firm to many throughout the country.

One recalls the late 1950s and early 1960s, when Ken’s mother had her stall in John Street Market before venturing into the supermarket era and opening their first store, the Victoria Supermarket in Girlington – now staffed, perhaps, by parents of many of those whose jobs are now threatened and who, clearly, from the T&A report, are going through a troubling anxious time.

One would hope Morrisons managers will have a rethink, or I believe Sainsbury’s et al will be receiving much of the custom presently given to Morrisons by people in Bradford.
