Description

Health and social work group Zonnehuizen announced recently that it had reached an agreement with the unions to cut 243 jobs.  The severe financial problems that the group has been facing due to lack of integration following a series of mergers and takovers are quoted as main reason behind the planned restructuring. Accordingly, the group incurred a loss of 16 million euros in 2010 and foresees a loss of 3 to 6 million euros in 2011.
