Description
Reckitt Benckiser, a multinational company leader in home, hygiene and health products, is to cut 81 jobs (out of 400) at its plant located at Mira, in the province of Venice.
The job-cuts are part of the company's worldwide reorganisation plan that envisages a reallocation of business areas between the plants located in various parts of the world. Moreover, according to the company, the Mira plant will strengthen its leadership in the production of gel-caps cleansers in the next years.
The company have planned some meetings with the trade unions in order to find adequate solutions aimed at reducing the social negative effects caused by the reorganisation plan.
