Another 200 auto jobs to go in Solihull

JAGUAR Land Rover is to cut a further 200 agency jobs in Solihull.

It announced in April that 1,000 agency workers would be laid off from the site in the West Midlands.

JLR said: “To deliver a growing range of electrified cars we are making tough decisions, but the transformation of the business relies on this.”

Des Quinn, national officer of the Unite union, said: “Unite’s priority during this transition in production and changes to shifts is to safeguard jobs.

“The move of Discovery production to Slovakia will bring on stream new models at Solihull and secure the future.”
