Description
Yura Corporation, an automotive cable manufacturer have announced a closing of operations at their Hnuste plant. From a total of 520 employees, 320 were laid off and 200 were offered a professional transfer to their sisterly Rimavska Sobota plant.
The cause of the closure is an unfavourable economic situation and rationalization of expenses at 2 plants instead of one. Also, the Hnuste plant was operating in loaned premises, therefore increasing its costs beyond breaking point.
The Rimavska Sobota plant is 20 kilometres away and should employ a total of 1100 employees after the closure of Hnuste plant.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
