Factory talks held in Switzerland
Nestle's management is meeting with a union in Switzerland to talk about the future of its Staverton factory.

More than 150 jobs are under threat at the Wiltshire plant. Nestle claims it has been running below capacity for a number of years.

The closure is only a possibility, says Nestle, and a third of production would move to France if it did close.

The Transport and General Workers Union has already met its French counterparts asking them not to support the move.
