Description
Electrolux, one of the leading producers of domestic appliances, is to cut 532 jobs at its plants located at Porcia, Susegana, Forlì and Solaro. The job-cuts - which are included in the 2013-15 reorganization plan – will add to previously announced job cuts (see here).
According to the company, the job-cuts are mainly due to a fall in demand in the European market. The trade unions will enter consultations with the company in order to find alternative measures to the job-losses. Electrolux has around 7,300 employees in Italy.
