Description

Pork Farms, a meat-pie factory, has announced plans to make 90 of its 300 staff redundant from its Nottingham site. The job cuts were blamed on the current economic situation and changes in working practices. The company has entered into a three-month consultation period with staff and trade unions, while voluntary redundancies are considered as an optional measure. As of 7 May 2009 no date has been given for the implementation of the job losses.
