Description

Hydro Aluminium will cut 50 jobs (38 manual workers and 12 administrative workers) at its plant in Charlottenberg, where 250 are currently employed. The reason for this redundancy plan is the low order level. This plan is the second in 2005, after a first dismissal in May 2005 when 25 workers were laid off.
