“Online retail giant #Amazon – said to be America’s second-largest employer – is reportedly planning a major expansion of its #warehouse #automation that could reduce the number of #USA #hires by more than 600,000 over the next eight years.

According to internal documents obtained by The #NewYorkTimes, the company’s robotics division aims to automate roughly 75 percent of operations by around 2033, and expects to avoid about 160,000 new roles by 2027.

The #leaked materials also highlight #CostSavings of around $12.6 billion from 2025-2027, or about 30 cents saved per item shipped.”

Swansea University staff deliver vote of no confidence in Vice Chancellor over £25m job cuts

“An impossible working situation”

The vote, held last Wednesday by members of the University and College Union (UCU), reflects growing unrest among staff facing another year of deep uncertainty.

Estelle Hart, president of Swansea UCU, said the cuts were creating an “impossible working situation” for staff already stretched to breaking point.

“This vote reflects the anger and frustration felt by our members who are facing yet another year with the threat of redundancy hanging over them while they are expected to deliver more and more with less and less,” she said.

Hundreds of roles lost

Swansea UCU said nearly 400 staff had already left the university through a voluntary severance scheme, with almost 200 vacant roles removed on top. The union warned that further job losses would not solve what it described as a “financial crisis”.

The university has announced £30 million in savings this academic year, with £25 million coming directly from staff costs.

University response

In a statement, Swansea University said:

“We are deeply aware of the impact that this may have on our staff community and our priority throughout this process has been to support our colleagues.

We also continue to engage meaningfully with our recognised campus unions as we explore all available options to meet the financial requirements of the coming year.

We are working hard to ensure that any essential savings do not adversely affect our core mission.”

What happens next?

The vote of no confidence is symbolic but significant, signalling a breakdown in trust between university leadership and its academic workforce. UCU members are expected to continue pressing for transparency and alternatives to further job losses.

Swansea Bay News will continue to follow developments as the university finalises its cost-saving plans.
