Cadbury's parent company Mondelez International has set out plans to cut 200 British jobs at its Bournville factory in Birmingham.
The American-based company said the voluntary redundancies at the site, will be phased in over the next two years.
It's reported that union bosses said 205 long-serving employees will leave Cadbury, pocketing average payoffs of £100,000 each.
The Independent in the UK reports that the firm promised a £75 million investment programme with compulsory job losses ruled out - but had threatened staff that they had to show evidence of "new behaviours" and embrace new working practices or their jobs would be moved abroad.
None of the 900 people currently working at the factory will face compulsory redundancies.
The site manufactures the Dairy Milk and Wispa bars, as well as Creme Eggs.
