“The
HR manager at the Swindon site, senior management figures and staff
representatives will be present at the first consultation forum on 5 March. No
decision will be made about re-structuring until after the consultation next
month,” said a Motorola spokesman.

Last
week Motorola announced 4,000 job cuts worldwide in an attempt to boost
profits. But the company said its Scottish semiconductor operations were
unlikely to be affected.
