Description

The international group Pauwels Trafo decided to close its manufacturing unit located in the harbour of Gent, dissmissing 115 people. The 47 remaining workers would be transferred to the seat of Mechelen but trade unions have fears about thirty additional dismissals that could be decided soon on this other site.
