The cuts will take effect in March
|
Electronics company Toshiba is making a quarter of its workforce redundant at a Plymouth television factory.
About 75 staff at the Ernesettle site, which the company took over in 1981, are to lose their jobs. Half of those affected are going voluntarily.
The cuts will take effect in March. But Toshiba insists despite the changes it is still committed to the city.
The company said the cuts were to help maintain a lean, responsive business in the face of tough market conditions.
It said it was committed to keeping Plymouth its European manufacturing hub for consumer products.
