500 of the 1,830 employees in Nokia’s Romanian production unit left the company on Friday, November 25, and the rest will be leaving gradually by Wednesday, November 30, when the plant shuts down for good one month earlier than estimated.
Upon ceasing their activity at the plant, the employees will receive a Nokia 500 phone.
“The rest up to 1,830 employees will leave gradually until November 30, and the production activity in the plant will cease after this date. Only those who take production lines apart to move them somewhere else, to a plant in Asia, will remain. The activity stops at Nokia Jucu due to lack of orders. By November 30, the ongoing orders will be met, and then it’s over. The employees will be paid by Nokia between December and March and in April they will receive the compensation packages negotiated with the management of the company,” said Valentin Ilcas, the leader of the Nokia Metal union, quoted by Mediafax.
