Description

On 7 October 2011, Danish multinational abattoir Danish Crown announced that 250 employees on permanent contracts will be made redundant. The reason is the lack of delivery of pigs from farmers to the abattoirs. The redundancies will take place in four abattoirs in Esbjerg, Blans, Ringsted and Rønne.
