Description

Relacom, which supplies network services, will lay off 1000 employees with the closure of divisions in Kalmar, Växjö, Blekinge, Skåne, Halland and Västra Götaland. There will also be redundancies in Jönköping. The reason for the dismissals is that Relacom has lost 30-40% of their orders to their competitor Telia. This process began in Spring 2009, and as of Octber 2009 the dismissals are enacted. The employees will leave the company during this year.
