Pfizer staff have met with a barrister to get legal advice ahead of the closure of the Sandwich plant.

About 50 staff attended a free redundancy seminar at the Granville Theatre in Ramsgate which was organised by Broadstairs firm Fosters Law.

Guest speaker was barrister Paul Tapsell.

Many Pfizer employees expressed concern about their rights if they are transferred to another employer. Fosters Law senior partner Ed Foster said: "If you are transferred over to another company you are not effectively made redundant and not entitled to redundancy. There are circumstances, like relocation, where staff could have a four-week trial."
