2 Sisters said it has worked with Unite the union to try and minimise losses and negotiate a new shift pattern with Coupar Angus employees.
“It is anticipated that with effect from week commencing 16th February 2014 the new shift pattern will be implemented with the reduced workforce,” a spokesperson for the company told just-food.
2 Sisters said it expects around half the reduction in the workforce to come from voluntary redundancies.
