Heineken has announced that it is to cut its global workforce by up to 10%, after COVID-19 forced the company to make difficult decisions following a tough year of trading.
The vast majority of the cuts are expected to come in Europe, with just a handful of redundancies expected in the United Kingdom.
The news comes after a number of workers at Heineken in Hereford were reported to have lost significant levels of income after new contracts were imposed on them by the company, which led to a backlash from workers and the Unite Union at the backend of last year.
Following a tough year, which saw pubs closed for months as a result of coronavirus restrictions, Heineken saw a net loss of €204m.
