<\/span>Komatsu Forest has issued layoff notices to 90 employees at its Ume\u00e5 plant following the rejection of a company proposal by union IF Metall that could have avoided dismissals.<\/p>\n

The company offered a 12% wage reduction and two unpaid days off per week to prevent terminations, but the union declined. As a result, 63 permanent employees and 27 temporary staff were laid off, while around 100 white-collar workers were placed on short-term leave.<\/p>\n

Approximately 60 employees gathered outside the factory to protest the union\u2019s decision, calling it \u201cnon-solidarity.\u201d Union chair Lena Johansson said she understood the frustration but noted that many workers opposed the wage cut, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck who could not afford reduced income.<\/p>\n

Komatsu attributed the layoffs to falling orders and economic pressures including the war in Ukraine, rising tariffs, and higher interest rates. This is the second major reduction at the Ume\u00e5 plant in 2025; an earlier layoff in spring affected around 80 positions and was partially reversed due to declining global demand.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
