A manufacturer of fruit juice from western Slovenia has been struggling to absorb losses of ex-Yugoslav markets and fierce competition. 65 workers were left jobless since beginning of 2005 and 60 more are envisioned in the undergoing reconstruction plan until January 2008.
Fructal is planning for 2010 to have 60% of its workforce from 2001. The measures were agreed by workers' representatives.
