Description
Logistics group Bring has initiated employer-employee negotiations aiming to cut 190 jobs. Redundancies are due to low profitability within the domestic freight market. All freight operations including the administration of freight operations will be disbanded except for operations in Vårgårda and connected cities. Mainly drivers, administrative staff and terminal and warehouse workers will be affected by the restructuring. Employees will be made redundant in 13 different towns and cities.
The Bring group is a Nordic logistics and postal company with a total of 22,000 employees. Bring has around 3,000 employees in Sweden.
