Jobs under threat at Harcourt
Dozens of jobs are at risk as part of a shake up at educational publisher Pearson in Oxford, reports the Oxford Mail. Consultation over 39 redundancies has started in the customer services department, following the sale of Harcourt Education at Jordan Hill to Pearson last year.
Anna Wagstaffe, Oxford branch secretary of the National Union of Journalists, said: "We understand that there will be quite a few redundancies and it's worrying for staff. At the moment, we have no indication that any of the editorial or designer staff whom we represent are going to be under threat."
No one from Pearson, which bought the firm with 660 workers last year, commented to the Oxford Mail.
