Description
Retail chain Suomen Lähikauppa in Finland is starting personnel negotiations to cut 230 jobs mainly from its Euromarket hypermarket chain.
The negotiations concern a total of 1,500 people at the company's head office and
in the Euromarket chain. According to the company, the streamlining is necessary due to the weakened
market situation. The negotiations do not concern the employees of the Siwa and Valintatalo
supermarket chains.
