Nokia closes deal with the union, officially drops the 1,000 employees, and focusing on software

Nokia closes deal with the union, officially drops the 1,000 employees, and focusing on software

To say it's been a rough year for Nokia would be a huge understatement. And things are only going to get worse before they get better. Case in point: the company just finalized an agreement to cut up to 1,000 jobs (which was announced last year and made a big huu-haa in Finland), all at its plant in Salo, Finland. The cuts will not happen all at once, instead positions will be phased out over the course of the year, with most layoffs coming before the end of June. For those in Western Europe it's another batch of manufacturing jobs heading to Asia, for Nokia it's simply part of a restructuring plan designed to help it stop the bleeding.
