Description

As announced on September 27, 2013, Pfleiderer, producer of wood-based materials, will cut 100 jobs in Germany. This is due to high volatility in demand.

Pfleiderer aims to flexibilize working time by the use of working time accounts and temporary workers. In total, the company employs 2,000 people. Most of the job cuts are to occur by natural fluctuation, but the company could not avoid 40 forced redundancies. Pfleiderer is in negotiation with worker representatives.

For previous restructuring cases see Pfleiderer (2010), Pfleiderer (2010) and Pfleiderer (2009 - World).
