Manufacturer of Monopoly, Play-Doh and Transformer cuts workforce by almost one-fifth as ‘last resort’

Hasbro will cut its workforce by almost a fifth, having already cut 800 jobs earlier this year. The group stressed it was taking the decision, announced just two weeks before Christmas, as “a last resort”.
