Mylan to cut 100 in Puerto Rico

Tools

Workers in Caguas, Puerto Rico, braced for the axe as Mylan announced it would eliminate 100 of the 500 positions at that manufacturing plant. The generics maker announced back in March that it would embark on a big restructuring plan to cut costs, eliminating some jobs in the process, but this the first tangible evidence of that plan in motion. In cutting back on the manufacturing side, Mylan joins a host of other drugmakers, some of which have shuttered entire plants as they streamline operations and outsource more operations. In Puerto Rico alone, pharma has sliced some 3,000 jobs.
