Description
Southern Cross, a care home provider, has announced plans to cut 3,000 jobs and expects the cuts to be completed by October, after a period of consultation with unions. Unions called for the government to step in with financial support. Southern Cross has already deferred 30% of its rent to landlords of its 750 homes as it tries to avoid bankruptcy.
