RAUTE INITIATES CHANGE NEGOTIATIONS PURSUANT TO THE ACT ON CO-OPERATION WITHIN UNDERTAKINGS
Raute Corporation has initiated change negotiations in compliance with the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings concerning the salaried and senior salaried employees in Finland. The objective of the negotiations is to adapt the company’s operations to the changed market environment for Raute. As earlier announced, the company is currently winding down its Russian business which constituted a significant share of Raute’s order book prior to the Russian military aggression towards Ukraine. In addition, the company’s profitability has been negatively impacted by the strong cost inflation increasing the company’s cost base.
“We have worked further to identify the needed steps to strengthen our development program and regretfully have to also downscale our workforce to adapt to the current, lower volume of operations. With this announced downscaling we estimate to achieve annual savings of approximately EUR 1.5-2 million. In addition, we have initiated other actions targeting efficiency improvements and cost savings of several millions”, says Petri Strengell, Interim CEO of Raute Corporation.
Raute communicated in June that it will strengthen its development program to improve competitiveness and profitability during 2022 and 2023.
The change negotiations pursuant to the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings will begin on August 23, 2022 and are estimated to last six weeks. The employer’s proposal for adjustment measures includes possible changes in terms of employment and a maximum of 30 people in total regarding dismissals.
The negotiations concern altogether 435 salaried and senior salaried employees in Finland. At the end of June, Raute Group employed altogether 845 persons, of which the Finnish employees accounted for 582 persons.
