Description

The Dutch Chamber of Commerce announced that the merger with the innovation centre Syntens and with the regional Chambers of Commerce will result in the loss of 735 jobs during 2013 and 2014. It is not yet clear to what extent the merger will lead to forced dismissals. The merger will result in the closure of 25 offices and the relocation of 300 to 400 employees (on top of the job losses).
