Mr Thow said staff had known for months the company was thinking about closing the facility, but were yesterday told by Cadbury all 60 jobs would be lost. "The workers have been in limbo for many months with these rumours circulating, but at least now they can plan," Mr Thow said. He said industrial action was not planned "at this stage" but the union is "seeking urgent talks to work through the issues" on behalf of their members. Cadbury spokesman Daniel Ellis said the job losses followed a two-year, $200 million restructuring process which includes the consolidation of "three lolly factories into one lolly centre of excellence". He said the company needed to "operate smarter" to protect local jobs from being moved offshore.
