Thread Name: BS: Server Industry Job Losses Britain
Subject: BS: Server Industry Job Losses Britain
The impact of major companies closing or cutting down on output causing many job losses is one thing, but the impact on server industries must be starting to tell by now.
It would be interesting to see where these are ocurring.

For example, I noticed this morning in the news that

Engineering group GKN has said it has cut 2,800 jobs globally since October and may have to shed more because of the slump in the global car industry.

The UK firm, which supplies carmakers including Land Rover and Ford, said it had cut 242 UK positions so far.


and soemthing that may affect LIncolnshire

A Lincolnshire label-making firm is laying off 50 staff at its plants across the UK.

Paragon Labels, which supplies labels to supermarkets, said a 90-day union consultation process had started.

It has factories in Boston, Spalding and Gainsborough, but would not say exactly where the jobs will be lost.

Can we keep it to Britain please
