Description
Dutch computer chip producer, NXP, has announced it will cut 85 jobs in its Nijmegen plant. The source reports that NXP aims to make production more efficient by reducing its support staff, managers and technicians.
The company will cut the jobs primarily through layoffs. According to the source, trade union FNV is opposed to the jobs cuts as it claims NXP is a profitable business and it does not believe the cuts are necessary.
The timeline for the restructuring is still unclear. The ERM has previously reported on restructuring events at NXP, see 2013, 2011, 2009 and 2007.
