Description

The management of PSA Hesse-Noord Natie (HNN), one of the world's largest container handling companies, announced its plan to cut 108 jobs in Antwerpen. The announcement was made on Tuesday 1st September at a work council meeting and concerns 96 white-collars and 12 blue-collars. The local trade union rejects the plan arguing that the company has had a good year 2008 and would not be able to cope with an economic recovery if the workforce was reduced.
