Despite an announced dismissal round, employment at Tata Nederland in IJmuiden is guaranteed ‘in outline’ until October 2021. The management of the metal group wrote in a letter to trade union FNV, in the hands of The Telegraph.
At the end of November, after months of speculation, Tata Steel confirmed that the steel group was going to cut sixteen hundred jobs in the Netherlands. Fourteen hundred jobs were cut in the rest of Europe.
These jobs will be retained for the time being. The management of Tata Steel Netherlands says that it will adhere to previously made agreements with trade unions. As a result, a dismissal round in the Netherlands is not possible until at least October 2021.
“The management confirms that both the FNV and the management have signed the Employment Pact and that we have both committed ourselves to it. The Pact is therefore the guideline for the elaboration of the improvement program of Tata Steel Netherlands. It goes without saying that we are both will therefore adhere to the Pact “, quotes The Telegraph from the letter from the Dutch management to the FNV.
According to the management it is inevitable that jobs will disappear, because steel production, margins and the earnings model “are under strong pressure”.
