Description
Leicestershire Police announced that it had seen 120 retirements, transfers or ill health dismissals in 2010 and that a further 90 were expected before March 2012. These figures were released after UNISON, who represent the Police's civilian staff, said they had been told 150 jobs would be lost. Branch Secretary Chris Hanrahan said: "It is disappointing that hard working dedicated Police Staff will have to pay the price for poor funding. These cuts mean that more strain will be put upon the officers and staff that remain. UNISON has put the protection of jobs and services as its number one priority and will be working with the force to identify where redundancies can be minimised and the service to the public maintained. However it is difficult to see how the service will not suffer with such a large amount of staff cut from the establishment."

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.
