'At least 600 Kodak workers in Australia have become victims of the digital age when the company announced it would close its only local manufacturing plant because of the decline of film-based photography.
After 40 years, production of paper, film and processing chemicals will cease at the Melbourne factory, in suburban Coburg, by November 26.
The wholesale photo processing lab at the site will also close on October 22.
The company said 600 jobs would be lost, with about 400 people left at the plant to service the local market and customers.
However, unions believe the final number of job losses could be closer to 650, with some administrative and distribution staff likely to be sacked.
It follows January's announcement by parent company Eastman Kodak that it would slash 12,000 to 15,000 jobs and reduce its presence by one-third worldwide.' Read more at Kodak workers victims to digital age
