AWT Rekultivace (formerly OKD Rekultivace), a Czech company specializing in landscape gardening, intends to dismiss 86 of its 500 staff by the end of March 2011, in order to increase efficiency. Drivers, technicians and construction workers will be affected the most. Trade unions are opposed to the job cuts.
