Lehto starts co-operation negotiations on possible layoffs
Lehto will start co-operation negotiations on possible layoffs concerning the entire personnel. With this measure, the company is preparing for changes in work load situation, among other things. The background is the coronavirus pandemic, which is seen to have a direct, indirect and possibly long-lasting impact on the business environment. The company estimates that the changes caused by the pandemic could be related to potential delays in project start-ups and disruptions in the availability of materials and subcontracting resources.
The negotiations concern all of the company’s approximately 1,200 employees and mainly address potential layoffs, as well as practices related to annual leave and holiday pay.
