Electrolux Plans to Cut About 1,250 Jobs in Italy via Voluntary Departures

Electrolux presented a revised restructuring plan for its Italian operations that reduces the scale of job cuts and relies on voluntary departures and temporary layoff schemes over a three-year period to avoid compulsory redundancies. Union representatives said the group now plans to cut around 1,250 jobs in Italy (650 production workers and 600 office employees), down from an initial plan of up to 1,700 positions. The company is prepared to seek a buyer for its Cerreto d’Esi kitchen hood plant and continue production there until a possible sale. Unions welcomed the approach but are awaiting detailed plans on compensation and incentives; the Industry Ministry will hold further talks to discuss the revised plan.

Electrolux cut 1,250 jobs in SC affecting its production (refrigerator manufacturing at Anderson plant) team.

That is roughly 2.6% of the 49,000 people Electrolux employs.
