Sony wields axe

Today Sony has announced plans to shed 8,000 jobs and close ten per cent of their manufacturing plants.

560 staff are employed at Sony's Pencoed 'Technology Centre' (420 by Sony, 140 in linked businesses).

The Echo is reporting the jobs are still under threat, although when CJS spoke to a Unite spokesman we were told Sony had confirmed the plant wouldn't be affected.

Mixed messages. Not much comfort for workers.
