Description

Europe's largest producer of porc meat, the Danish Crown, makes redundancies among employees in a newly opened super food-factory or slaughterhouse in Horsens Jutland. The number will be between 100 and 150 depending of normal seasonal downsizing in the summer period. In early 2005, the company had announced the closure of its slaughterhouse in Hjørring.
