Consignia, the U.K.’s privatized postal service, is planning a management shake up it hopes will safe more than 50 million pounds sterling ($75 million) a year, according to the London Daily Telegraph.
Consignia chairman Alan Leighton declined to specify the number of managers to be laid off.
The service earlier said it was going to lay off about 30,000 postal employees as part of a general restructuring plan.
Earlier this year, the Communication Workers Union, which represents more than 145,000 British Postal Workers had threatened to strike Consignia in a pay dispute (DIRECT Newsline, March 25).
