Description
Dairy manufacturers Dairy Crest have announced that 35 redundancies will be made at the firm's plant in Nottingham. The firm employs 253 workers at the site, and acquired the site from Arla Foods in August 2006. A spokesperson from the Usdaw union said some redundancies were expected and it was in talks with managers. A Dairy Crest spokesperson said the firm regretted the job losses and would help those affected by the cuts to find alternative employment.
John Gorle, National Officer for the Union of Shop Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw), said: 'Although some redundancies had been expected at the site our members will still be coming to terms with the announcement and our officials will be on hand to support them during what is a very worrying time for a highly committed workforce.'
'Usdaw representatives will be using the consultation period to look at the business plan behind this decision and examine Dairy Crest's long terms plans for the site.'

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
