Corden Pharma, contract manufacturing partner of leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, is to cut 179 jobs (out of 677) at its plant located at Sermoneta, in the province of Latina.
The trade unions reacted to the company's decision by organising protest actions and demand meetings with management and local authorities in order to reduce the number of job cuts.
