Description
Czech coal mining company OKD has announced 800 redundancies during 2015 due to the low coal prices on world markets that have caused a steady decline in OKD's output by one million tons. The first 300 workers will be dismissed by the end of April 2015. The remaining redundant employees (500) will leave the company through natural attrition (retirement).
