Yazaki Automotive Products Poland, which operates in the automotive electrical wiring sector, will lay off 230 employees from its Mikołów plant.
The restructuring comes due to the termination of a contract with Maserati and the lack of new contracts. Two rounds of layoffs will start in the upcoming days. The considered support for laid-off employees includes severance pay as per national law, an extra month's salary, and a one-time payment.
The trade union "Solidarity" raised concerns about layoffs at Yazaki's Polish plant during the corporation's European Works council. A finalised agreement on layoff rules between management and the union is expected by June 11.
