Satellite telecommunications company SES announced in May that 15% of its workforce will be laid off as part of a restructuring plan. The Luxembourg-based headquarters are also affected by the layoffs.
The redundancy plan negotiations started on 25 June. Trade unions OGBL and LCGB managed to reduce the number of employees that SES is letting go.
This positive development is nevertheless leaving a bitter aftertaste, the unions said. Various staff delegates and even delegation presidents will reportedly lose their jobs. According to the unions, this is unacceptable as these employees are generally protected against being laid off since it is up to them to defend the best interests of staff.
