Toora ViPlus has announced the laying off of 31 of its workers. The company employs 124 workers and says it will make the redundancies over the coming weeks. In part, the company blames the lack of a rebound in business since the pandemic and ViPlus Dairy chief executive Jon McNaught said that this has forced the company to lay off 25% of its workforce.

Most of Viplus exports go to around 13 countries across the Middle East and Asia.

The union has been quick to blame the Federal Government and concerns have been raised as to the timing and possible correlation to the ending of Jobkeeper subsidy. Jobkeeper is scheduled to cease at the end of March.
