Magyar Telekom reaches agreement with trade unions
According to the
terms of the agreement, the Company plans to make 500 employees redundant in
2013. The majority are expected to leave the Company by the end of 2012. This
figure does not include – among others – the employment termination of
executives and employees retiring. In addition, to achieve further efficiency
improvements, organizational restructuring will take place as of January 1st
The agreement
with the trade unions also states there will be 4% general increase in the base
salary for the parent company employees from April 2013 to retain the real
value of wages for those who stay with the Company.
Based on these
measures, our goal is to reduce Total Workforce Management (TWM) related costs
excluding severance and capitalized employee expenses by HUF 5.8 bn in 2013, compared to 2011, representing
5.6% decline over the two year period. Consequently, in the 5 year period of
2008-2013, TWM related costs excluding severance and capitalized employee
expenses and adjusted for technical changes in the TWM cost structure are set
to decrease by 18.4%.
