Honkarakenne Oyj initiates co-operation negotiations concerning all its
blue collar personnel in Finland.
According to a preliminary estimation by the company, the co-operation
negotiations may result in temporary lay-offs lasting 90 days at most by the end
of May 2016. The lay-off plans concern the blue collar workers. For the
white-collar workers a similar lay-off plan by the end of December 2015 is
approved earlier, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom
Network.
The co-operation negotiations aim to secure the company’s
competitiveness despite seasonal variation and the development of sales. It is
estimated that the co-operation negotiations will be concluded in the middle of
September.
The Honka Group is the world’s leading manufacturer of log frame wood
houses.
