Factories unfit for heroes

Remploy was set up in 1945 to offer employment and training to people injured during the war and it now has 87 factories across the United Kingdom and a turnover of 175 million pounds sterling. However, its government grant has not been increased for five years, sales are predicted to fall to 157 million pounds and 1,000 staff are worried that may lose their jobs when nine factories are closed before 2002. The company is bureaucratic, badly run and the government has to think about what it plans to do with the company and with the disabled who work there.
