Colgate extends restructuring program, to cut more jobs
Colgate-Palmolive said on Thursday it would cut more jobs under an extended restructuring program as the world's largest toothpaste maker grapples with tough macro-economic conditions, including a strong dollar.

The program, now expected to end in December 2017, will result in the reduction of 3,300 to 3,800 positions globally.

Colgate, had earlier said it expected to complete the program this year and cut about 2,700 to 3,200 positions.

The company, which gets more than three-fourths of its revenue from outside the United States, has been raising prices to counter the impact of the stronger dollar.
