Description
Saab gave notice to a total of 300 employees in Linköping in April 2009. Negotiations with the trade unions are now over, and the notice resulted in a redundancy of 259 employees. A total of 150 white collar workers and 109 blue collar workers are affected. The reason for the redundancies is lower demand for aircraft production.
Saab provides products, services and solutions ranging from military defense to civil security.
