JOBS: Going at Argos but coming to Hinkley WORKERS who lose their job at the Argos distribution centre set to close should be offered the chance to work at the Hinkley C construction project, a councillor says. Last week, a decision to close the Argos site at Huntworth was revealed, putting 230 jobs at risk, according to the Unite union. Sainsbury s says the move comes after the merging of the brands, and that workers would be supported as much as possible. Now, Bill Revans, a Somerset County Councillor - as well as being a member of North Petherton Town Council and Sedgemoor District Council - has suggested workers could be re-trained for roles at the Hinkley site, among the largest construction projects in Europe.
