Astra Zeneca presenterade i dag, torsdag, årsredovisningen för helåret 2011. I samband med den lanserade läkemedelsjätten nya omstruktureringsplaner i vilka 7 300 arbetstillfällen ska bort innan 2014. Av dessa kommer 1 100-1 200 tjänster att försvinna i Sverige, merparten i Södertälje och de anställda i Södertälje har kallats till ett möte på torsdagsförmiddagen.
- Vi har sammankallat till ett möte eftersom att omstruktureringsprogrammet kommer att få särskillda effekter på vissa ställen. Under mötet kommer vi att berätta hur de anställda påverkas i Sverige.
Mötet i dag antyder att Södertäljeverksamheten kommer att påverkas, hur mycket talar vi om?
- Rätt mycket, säger Ann-Leena Mikiver, presschef på Astra Zeneca.
Istället ska Astra Zeneca införa en virtuell organisation för forskning inom neurovetenskap. Forskningsgruppen kommer att bestå av 40-50 forskare och kommer att ha säte i Boston, USA och Cambridge i Storbritannien.
- Beslutet att avveckla forskningsenheten i Södertälje är ett tungt besked att ge våra medarbetare, men det är nödvändigt för att skapa ett långsiktigt konkurrenskraftigt forskningsföretag som kan ta fram nya läkemedel till patienter. Vi kommer nu att lägga stor kraft på att hjälpa de medarbetare som berörs, säger Martin Mackay, global forskningschef på Astra Zeneca, i ett pressmeddelande.
Totalt arbetar i dag 3 700 anställda med forskning på Astra Zeneca i Sverige.
