The statutory negotiations will concern the whole personnel of Nokian Heavy Tyres and also all personnel groups, i.e. a total of approx. 280 people.
The production adjustments and re-organizing of operations would cause a need to cut personnel by approx. 50 people and to lay off approx. 230 people either until further notice or for certain periods. Part of the adjustments could be executed by pension arrangements or other voluntary solutions.
