Description
Continental Teves, Ebbw Vale Management plan to cut 420 jobs from the Continental Teves plant. The firm is the latest in a series of major employers to pull out of the area, leaving people in the town - at one time the heart of the south Wales steel industry - wondering where they will find work. The 420-strong workforce producing brake callipers for the motor industry production will be redundant when the firm shifts work to Slovakia
