Coca-Cola Enterprises: 120 UK jobs are at risk

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has confirmed that up to 120 staff at seven UK sites could face redundancy following a European-wide restructuring, but said "130 GB vacancies and new roles would be made available", so that net, net, there would be an increase in staff numbers.

Its comments came as the Unite trade union said European trade unions were planning coordinated action on October 27 to protest against the restructuring, which it claimed was "being pushed through without proper consultation".

Unite added: "While CCE is paying lip service to consultation, the European trade unions do not believe that this consultation will be meaningful and fear that CCE will force through the measures with few, if any, concessions or changes to its original plans."

The joint trade unions are demanding that there should be "meaningful consultations, no forced redundancies and that the company should find suitable alternative jobs for those who are displaced", said national officer Jennie Formby.
