Sainbury's Announce 800 Job Losses

Up to 800 jobs are to be lost at Sainbury's as part of a restructuring scheme.

The job losses, understood to come from department and deputy managers, are part of a plan to save £500m announced in November.

The supermarket's retail and operations director, Roger Burnley, said that the cuts had been an "exceptionally difficult decision" that had not been taken lightly.
