Job cuts at DB Schenker

The UK's biggest rail logistics firm, DB Schenker, wants to make two hundred and thirty-four job cuts, which may affect workers in Cumbria.

The firm has confirmed that it needs to save money because there is less demand for coal to be carried across the rail network.

It says it's currently in consultation with its colleagues and Trades Union partners to discuss the proposed business changes.

Bosses at the RMT union say this is likely to result in job losses at the firm's depot in Carlisle.
