Thousands more job losses have been announced in a worsening week for employment, with grim predictions of more bad news in the pipeline.

More than 3,300 cuts were announced or confirmed, hitting council, retail and manufacturing workers in different parts of the UK.

The most drastic news came from Birmingham City Council, which is planning to shed up to 2,000 jobs over the next financial year as it strives to "
do more for less"
.

Administrators of discount retailer Ethel Austin and sister homeware chain Au Naturale cut 469 jobs and launched a closing-down sale at 129 stores.

German manufacturer Bosch confirmed it was pressing ahead with plans to close a car parts factory in Miskin, near Cardiff, employing 900 people, by the middle of next year.

Birmingham council leader Mike Whitby said: "
We are well aware that all the forecasts indicate the next few years will be tough for local government financially. Quite simply we have to do more for less."


Unions reacted with anger and pledged to stage a protest when the cuts are discussed by the council later this month.

Jack Dromey, deputy general secretary of Unite, said: "
Jobs and services in Birmingham are being blitzed by an uncaring Tory council. Services to the community will suffer from savage job cuts in a city already hit by high unemployment."


The black day followed announcements of 1,600 job losses on Tuesday, including 400 at Cadbury's Somerdale factory in Somerset, which is to close with the loss of 400 jobs despite hopes that new owners Kraft would save it.

Unions fear that other local authorities will cut jobs in the coming weeks as they set their budgets for the next financial year.
