New Cash-Counting Tech Leads To Potential Morrisons Job Cuts
Morrisons grocery chain, the UK’s fourth largest supermarket, is reportedly introducing new cash-counting machines in stores while also starting a four-week consultation with the 689 cash office managers and supervisors, reports the BBC News. Morrisons has been losing market share since 2012, when their profits fell by 7 percent. As figures continue to decline, the grocery chain has been under pressure to reduce cost. The implementation of the cash-counting machines could result in significant job cuts, but the union remains hopeful the managers and advisors will be given alternative jobs.
