Tote Jobs Axed

Premier Lara Giddings is paying tribute to the professionalism of Tote Tasmania staff, as they find out they may be out of work next month.

Tote's new owner the Tatts Group is set to swing the axe on around 80 jobs after shelling out $103 million for the business.

Ms Giddings says State Government negotiations have ensured the future of retail and call centre positions.

But Shadow Treasurer Peter Gutwein says other at-risk jobs have been sold for a pittance.
