Description

The Italian car parts firm Sogefi Filtration has announced plans to cut 190 jobs at its base in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf. The cuts are blamed on difficult market conditions and spiralling costs. Unite the union has entered in negotiations with the company in an attempt to avoid compulsory redundancies. Unions are considering a shorter working week and relocation of staff to other Sogefi sites.The redundancies are due to take affect on 7 October. So far, 76 employees have taken voluntary redundancy.
