The wave of job cuts sweeping through the utility sector gathered pace yesterday with 800 more redundancies planned by two electricity groups joining forces in order to meet regulator’s price demands and improve efficiency.
Trade unions expressed anger that the announcement by two foreign-owned utilities, London Electricity and Eastern Electricity, came during the period immediately before Christmas. They noted that it arrived on the back of nearly 1,300 other job losses in this sector since early October.
Half of the 160,000 jobs in the electricity sector have gone since privatization in 1988.
More than 2,000 redundancies have also been announced recently by water companies, and more are expected from United Utilities as they, too, seek to meet tougher regulatory targets.
Not everyone in the industry is convinced that the current spate of job cuts in the utility sector is justified.
A. speeded up
B. slowed down
C. continued
D. ended
