Description

Hit, the largest Slovenian company in the gambling business, has announced the loss of 200 jobs (out of 2,200) by the end of 2009. As a consequence of management decisions, the company has entered into quite severe trading problems in 2009; at the end of 2008 a EUR 4.1 million loss was reported. One of the internal restructuring measures is to reduce the number of employees by at least 100 persons during 2009.
