A UNION representing workers facing redundancy at Midlands Co-operative Society's department stores earmarked for closure has held "constructive" talks with bosses.
This week, the society announced it planned to shut nine department stores in the region, including its Exchange Street store, in Derby. It is also looking to shut stores in Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Chesterfield.
