Description

The mobile phone operator Vodafone is going to lay off 150 employees in Sweden. The company’s site in Karlskrona will be most affected by this plan, with some 126 jobs being cut. Telenor, which purchased the Swedish branch of Vodafone in Autumn 2005, declared that the company had been badly managed and that large-scale savings were required.
