CUP - Latest - Company extend consultation

Cambridge University Press (CUP) has extended its consultation period with staff affected by the proposed job cuts within its printing division. The deadline for talks has been put back to 30 April as the university and Unite continue to thrash out details of how many jobs could be saved at the historic site.

Cambridge University Press originally entered into a 90-day consultation with staff in January with a view to cutting around 130 positions. However, in March it was revealed that nearly half of the 120 proposed print job cuts could be retained.

Since then, Unite has vowed to "press for more jobs" to be retained with national officer Ann Field claiming the union "won't rest until we have secured more employment". She added: "If not, we want decent redundancy packages for those affected."

A chapel meeting will be held on 24 April.
