Description

DTG, publisher of phone books and business directories (Gouden Gids), announced that it will cut 250 out of 802 jobs until the end of 2012.

Reason for restructuring is the structural shift from publishing on paper to greater emphasis on online activities. Some of the cuts will be implemented by forced dismissals. The works council has agreed on a social plan.
