Description
SES global is a Luxembourg-based world-wide leader of satellite telecommunication and a network provider with a total of 70 satellites and more than 2000 employees.
Based in the village of Betzdorf and having already undergone several restructurings in the past, SES global announced in November 2024 the outsourcing of activities to India. The social plan concerns 80 Luxembourg-based employees of the 600 or so employed at Betzdorf. The two main representative trade unions OGBL and LCGB already underlined in a joint press release in October 2024 that they fear a loss of many jobs in Luxembourg.
