Description
The Dutch meat processing company Dumeco will cut up to 300 jobs through the closure of the production sites of Weert and Emmen. This measure is presented as a consequence of the acquisition of Hendrix Meat Group in the second half of 2004. This is part of a larger restructuring plan that should cost 530 jobs in total. Part of the employees will be proposed a new position in the group but there will be 3OO direct dismissals. A social plan will be negotiated with the unions.
