Description

For the first time in its history the Deutsche Post will proceed to direct dismissals, there is however a social plan for the personnel. In its subsidiary, Danzas Euronet, 140 drivers will loose their jobs at the beginning of 2004. This restructuring measure was made necessary by the loss of a big customer, Otto, but it also aims at reducing the overcapacity of the company.
