The Danish producer of toys, Lego, announced 31 October 2017 that 470 employees, mainly administrative staff, will be made redundant in the near weeks. The reason is a significant fall in sales worldwide, in particular of the well-known Star Wars figures. Already in September Lego announced that a large number of employees would be dismissed in the near future.
