Nokia reveals redundancy details to Oulu, Espoo staff
The mobile giant has on Monday been providing employees in Oulu and Espoo with details of the latest round of job cuts. A large group of workers in Oulu are expected to go this month.
In Espoo, about half of those being made redundant were given advance notice of dismissal, while in Oulu employees were provided with general information about the timetable for job reductions and details of the severance packages on offer. These vary depending on each staff member's length of service.
Workers in Tampere were still awaiting information on Monday afternoon.
The chief shop steward for white-collar workers in Oulu, Mikko Merihaara, last week estimated that most of those being let go would leave by the end of August. Some 700 people are to lose their jobs in Oulu.
Some 400-500 will remain at work in Oulu, most of them developing basic phones.
