Ericsson, a Swedish telecommunications company, has initiated collective layoff procedures for 131 employees in Genoa. The layoffs affect the company's R&D departments, specifically the Ottica and Bcss divisions, with 110 and 21 employees respectively facing job losses. The decision is attributed to the challenging Italian telecommunications market and the company's strategic restructuring.
The layoffs have sparked concern among local politicians and trade unions, who are calling for government intervention to mitigate the impact on employment and the city's technological development. An assembly of Ericsson employees will be held on September 14.
