Logistics company DHL International GmBH plans to lay off as many as 2,200 U.K. workers based at Jaguar Land Rover factories in the latest blow to automotive jobs in the nation.
About two in five of the DHL employees at JLR’s U.K. factories face dismissal, the union Unite said in a statement Tuesday. DHL linked about half of the reductions to lower car production and attributed the rest to “efficiency savings,” according to the labor group, which vowed to protect as many jobs as possible.
