No mass layoffs at Tata Steel for the time being, Dutch management says

NL Times  

Despite announced layoffs, employment at Tata Steel Nederland in IJmuiden "in outline" will be guaranteed until October 2021, the management of the metal group in the Netherlands wrote in a letter to trade union FNV, which is in the hands of the Telegraaf. The management of Tata Steel Nederland says it will adhere to previously made agreements with the trade unions, but adds that eventual layoffs are inevitable. In November, after months of speculation, Tata Steel confirmed that the group was cutting 1,600 jobs in the Netherlands, and another 1,400 jobs in the rest of Europe. It goes without saying that we will both adhere to the pact," the letter from the Tata Steel Nederland management to FNV said, according to the newspaper.
