AstraZeneca to shell out £12M in severance dispute with workers at former England plant

When AstraZeneca sold its Avlon, England plant to CDMO Avara in 2016, it was touted as a lifeline for the drugmaker’s 210 on-site employees who faced termination.

Three years later, with the plant back on life support, AstraZeneca will have to pony up after those former employees said the British drugmaker didn’t meet its contractual obligations.
