Chain Cuts 50 Jobs: Food 4 Less Supermarkets Inc., the La Habra grocery giant that operates Alpha Beta, Boys, Viva and its warehouse stores, has cut about 50 jobs from its headquarters work force of 1,500.

President George Golleher said the cuts were made through a management streamlining. All but about 20 of the workers whose positions were eliminated were given other jobs in the stores. The latest 50 are among 1,100 positions that have disappeared since Food 4 Less acquired Alpha Beta last year.
