Les Woodward, 58, a wood machinist at the Remploy factory in Swansea, and a Remploy national convener, described the decision as "absolutely devastating".
"Angry is too small a word," he said.
"It's all part of the government cuts agenda.
"It's got nothing to do with looking after disabled people, there's no rhyme or reason to it.
"There are 54 Remploy factories employing 2,000 disabled people.
"All that is going to come out of this is that 2,000 disabled people are going to be added to the unemployment figures.
"Where am I going to get a job? Living in Wales, there's no jobs going.
"I can't see how they're going to help me get a job - they'd be better off trying to get other disabled people in work."
