Description
Dani AFC, a producer of leather seat covers for cars in the higher price range, announced the layoff of 100 workers, most of whom are women. Collective dismissal is the effect of the global difficulties in the automotive industry. By not renewing employment contracts, the company already dismissed 50 fixed-term workers in April 2021 and some workers with regular employment contracts. The sales continued decline required a new restructuring, the layoff of 100 workers and the relocation of the remaining staff to the industrial sewing room. The trade union representative says that the company is mismanaged with frequent changes in employment. The company currently employs 304 workers.
