Cadbury has announced that it will cut 40 workers from it’s Tasmanian factory over the next four months as machines replace workers.
Independent Denison MP, Andrew Wilkie, says the Cadbury factory is a bedrock of the local community and the the loss of 40 jobs will hurt.
The job cuts come after announcements by Cadbury’s US parent will spend $20 million to upgrade machinery, raising the total number of job cuts in the company to 170 since 2015.
