Description
182 positions will be cut at Stefanini, call centre and part of a Brazilian multinational. Reason for the redundancies is that the company has lost an important contract with Belgacom (Belgian distributor of telephony and television services). The 'Renault procedure' was launched. However, there may be the possibility that the company Belgacom will hire some of the redundant workers.
Currently, 240 people work at the venue.
