Marchers hit the streets in Frome last Friday (2nd May) in protest against the closure of local printing firm Butler & Tanner. Butler & Tanner's parent company Media & Print Investments (MPI) closed the Somerset printing firm in late April over a dispute about proposed industrial action, making 287 workers immediately redundant.
