That's about a thousand jobs at risk as part of a global restructure.

世界的なリストラの一環として、約1,000人の雇用が危険にさらされているのだ。

Well our business reporter Ben King has more on that decision to make those cuts.

ビジネスレポーターのベン・キングが、この削減の決定について詳しく伝えている。

Dyson is of course an extremely innovative consumer electronics company.

ダイソンはもちろん、極めて革新的な家電メーカーである。

It makes everything from hair dryers to those famous cordless vacuum cleaners to washing machines and they have announced that there is a global restructure going on and this is the UK implication of it which means that up to a thousand of their 3,500 UK workers could be affected.

ヘアードライヤーから、有名なコードレス掃除機、洗濯機まで、あらゆるものを製造している同社は、世界的なリストラが進行中であり、これはその英国での影響であると発表した。

Now the chief executive Hanno Kirner has said that we operate in an increasingly fierce and competitive global market in which the pace of innovation and change is only accelerating he says and that's the reason why they're doing this restructure.

現在、最高経営責任者であるハノ・キルナーは、イノベーションと変化のペースが加速する一方である、ますます熾烈で競争の激しくなるグローバル市場で我々は事業を展開しており、それが今回のリストラの理由であると語っている。

He adds of course that they say it's always incredibly painful to lose talented employees and colleagues.

もちろん、有能な従業員や同僚を失うことは、常にとてつもなく辛いことだという。

Now they say that the UK will remain a hub of research and development but over the past few years the company's centre of gravity has been moving towards Asia which makes up the majority of its customer base.

現在、英国は研究開発のハブであり続けるというが、ここ数年、会社の重心は顧客基盤の大半を占めるアジアに移っている。

Its headquarters is now in Singapore and the majority of its manufacturing takes place in countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines and Singapore.

現在、本社はシンガポールにあり、製造の大半はマレーシア、フィリピン、シンガポールなどで行われている。

Now to look at their financials looking at the latest set of they made over a billion pounds of profit so it's still a very profitable company even though that's slightly down from the year before so we don't really know all that much about the financial drivers behind this decision but it's worth remembering of course that Sir James Dyson the founder and the majority owner of the company has been very critical of UK government policy in recent years.

最新の財務状況を見ると、10億ポンド以上の利益を上げており、一昨年より若干減少したとはいえ、非常に収益性の高い企業であることに変わりはない。

Last year during the Sunak administration he wrote to the Times criticising what he called woeful policies such as working from home and rocketing corporation tax and he said that the company would be investing far more in modern forward-looking places elsewhere.

スナック政権時代の昨年、彼は『タイムズ』紙に、在宅勤務や法人税の高騰など、彼がひどいと呼ぶ政策を批判する記事を寄稿し、同社は他の先進的な近代的な場所にもっと投資すると述べた。

Ben when are they likely to make clear where the actual job losses will fall who will be made redundant and who will stay on?

ベンは、いつになったら実際の雇用喪失がどこになるのか、誰が余剰人員となり、誰が残留するのかを明らかにするのだろうか？

Well we don't know they have sites in the UK in Bristol and a couple of sites in Wiltshire including their Malmsbury HQ.

英国にはブリストルとウィルトシャーに数カ所（本社を含む）ある。

The normal process for making redundancies is that you announce the intention to to make them and then there's a consultation with workforce which is mandated in law and that's a process that can take up to three or six months sometimes longer depending on the company so that's something that we don't know yet it may even be that Dyson hasn't completely decided.

通常の人員削減のプロセスは、人員削減の意向を発表し、従業員との協議を行うもので、法律で義務付けられています。

Often these redundancy processes do take quite a long time to work out so this is just the beginning of what will probably be quite a long process for Dyson employees and management.

ダイソンの従業員と経営陣にとって、これはおそらく長いプロセスの始まりに過ぎない。
