Description
Fagor, a Spanish manufacturer of domestic appliances, has announced that it is to cut 150 jobs at its plants in the Basque Country. The job losses will be achieved through early retirements and relocations to other cooperatives in Mondragon. The reason behind this decision is the drop in sales triggered by the international economic crisis.
