However, as the communications union and Cablecom announced on Monday following the conclusion of a redundancy plan, around 50 further employees could lose their jobs in the course of the year as a result of the implementation measures.
In December, Cablecom announced its intention to streamline the organization and staff departments in order to increase efficiency and to make up to 150 redundancies for operational reasons. As part of the consultation process, in which the Communications union assisted the employee representatives, over 50 proposals for significantly greater efficiency were submitted.
Cablecom and the communications union have concluded a social plan for the employees affected by redundancies. The aim is to avoid redundancies for operational reasons as far as possible and to make redundancy measures socially acceptable. Employees from the age of 57 benefit from an employment guarantee or early retirement, with Cablecom bearing all costs incurred.
People who have been made redundant are supported in their professional reintegration for up to 12 months. They benefit from individual advice and training measures. Relocation compensation will also be provided. The social plan runs until the end of 2010 and applies to all those who have worked for Cablecom for at least six months.
