Is Unilever planning 1,000 redundancies in Germany?

Is Unilever planning 1,000 redundancies in Germany?

Unilever is rumored to be considering the closure of three of its eight German factories as part of a wider reorganization of the business, according to a report published by Reuters.

German Union NGG is claiming that up to 1,000 jobs are at risk under the plans and that German staff had been called into a meeting yesterday, but a spokesperson for Unilever dismissed the claims as ‘total speculation’.

Having fought off an unsolicited takeover bid from Kraft back in February, Unilever announced a radical cost-cutting program, which will likely see it shed part of its food business to concentrate on personal care.
