Description
Croatian state-owned rolling stock company Gredelj (Tvornica željezničkih vozila Gredelj) has announced that it will cut 212 jobs.
According to the sources, in 2012 the company has declared bankruptcy, due to a decline in overseas orders and a large reduction in orders from Croatian Railways (HZ). The sources note that from 2012 the company continued to manufacture rail vehicles, honouring existing agreements whilst still under bankruptcy conditions. A new business plan was set up to reduce costs and the redundancies are a result of this.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
