The stock controller, who is also Unite shop steward, said Leadec had set up a foodbank to support its workers facing extreme hardship.
“I’m a bit older, my mortgage is paid, my kids are grown up,” he said. “These are low-paid jobs, we’re talking just above minimum wage.
“People have got rent, they’ve got mortgages, they’ve got children, these are the people that are really, really struggling.
“At the end of the day, the fault really lies with a very greedy bunch of cyber hackers,” he added. “I’m not holding my company responsible for this.”
He hopes to see the £1.5bn loan go towards keeping the supply chain running, and to workers left without wages.
“We needed the money two weeks ago,” he said, claiming he had already seen colleagues resign to seek alternative work.
“Their skills [are] walking out the door and this we don’t need… But people are going do what they have to do to feed their families.”
