New Tesco Store Cuts 33% of Jobs Weeks After Opening

We've been banging on for a bit about Tesco's claims to 'create' jobs, pointing out that all a new store does is to displace existing jobs, while transferring local money to Tesco's Head Office (where some of the money seems as if it will be used to pay redundancy for Tesco managers, ironically...).

In Nelson, Lancashire, the job losses are coming very quickly, but from Tesco itself, reports the Lancashire Telegraph. Within 'weeks' of a new store opening, 40 people, one-third of those hired, have been laid off. The comments beneath the article are interesting as well!
