Basler Zeitung Medien cuts 24 jobs
Basler Zeitung Medien is cutting 24 jobs in its printing and prepress division due to excess staffing.
Due to the tense economic situation, various restructuring measures have already been implemented at Basler Zeitung Medien (BZM) in recent months, the company wrote in a press release on Thursday. However, further optimization steps are still necessary to overcome this situation.
Due to staff overcapacity, job cuts in the printing and prepress area are unavoidable at the present time. A total of 24 jobs will have to be eliminated. Talks with the affected employees are scheduled to take place in June. According to the press release, a balanced social plan will help to mitigate the effects of the decision as far as possible.
Basler Zeitung Medien was taken over by financier Tito Tettamanti and Basel lawyer Martin Wagner in February. Wagner stated at the time that there were no plans for further job cuts following the almost completed restructuring.
