Description

On 6 October 2008, the Hewlet Packard group announced that it will scrap 560 jobs in the Netherlands. The restructuring is part of a worldwide process due to the takover of Electronic Data Systems (EDS). Jobs will be cut at both EDS and Hewlet Packard NL. Forced dismissals seem unavoidable. HP NL employees are covered by a social plan, their colleagues at EDS are not.
