Description

Saab Automobile Powetrains, which produces gear boxes for Saab and other car producers owned by General Motors, has given notice to 80 workers as a result of the negative production prospects for 2005. This plan follows a first redundancy plan, which lead to the dismissal of 44 workers earlier this year. The company, located in Göteborg, currently employs 350 workers.
