Nokia further plans 170 job cut globally

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Nokia, world’s largest mobile manufacturer, has planned to slash 170 jobs globally to reorganise its logistics, production management and production support units. At most, 100 of the 170 job reductions would take place in its native Finland, the company said in a statement.
Nokia also said in a separate announcement it plans to offer voluntary redundancy package to 320 people working at its factory in Salo, southwestern Finland.
“The earlier voluntary resignation package we offered to 1,000 Nokia employees in February raised a lot of interest among production employees, who were excluded from this particular global program,” said Ville Valtonen, head of Human Resources of Nokia in Finland.
