As many as 4,000 jobs could be cut over two years after a cyberattack and US tariffs take a toll on Britain’s largest car manufacturer.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) informed workers and their union on Saturday that the company would be opening a voluntary redundancy programme for salaried and management team members. This move follows slashed revenues driven by falling sales and the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
4,000 jobs is a huge number. I hope the redundancy package is fair to everyone affected by this.”
Cyberattacks and tariffs? It feels like JLR is getting crushed from every direction simultaneously.
Is this the start of the end for British manufacturing? The news cycle has been brutal lately.”
