Employees are continuing their protest at a factory in west Belfast. More than 100 workers have staged a sit-in, the Unite trade union has said. Earlier, it was announced that 565 staff would go at Visteon car components plants across the UK. Most of the jobs have been lost with immediate effect. Two hundred jobs will go at the Belfast factory. KPMG said it had no alternative but to close the factory and two others in Basildon and Enfield in England. Administrators have been called in to the factory which is the former Ford plant. Visteon has a total workforce of 600 in the United Kingdom.
