Cineworld | Staff claim they found out about site closure plans on Twitter

The recent pandemic has taken its toll on businesses across the UK, leaving many employees out of work or facing being placed on the UK Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS)

One business that has felt the brunt in particular is British cinema company Cineworld with thousands of employees potentially at risk of losing their jobs.

However, staff were left feeling furious after they claimed to have found out about potential job losses over social media site Twitter.

The Sun reported yesterday that the chain was considering plans to close all of its 127 UK and Ireland cinemas which would put up to 5,500 jobs at risk.
