Yazaki proceeds with collective redundancy in Ovar
Yazaki Saltano has moved ahead with a collective redundancy affecting 163 employees at its Ovar plant, less than a year after an earlier round of job cuts that dismissed over 300 workers. The company says the measure is part of restructuring; unions and local stakeholders are monitoring the process. Workers and those in the Ovar labour market should follow union briefings and company communications for support and next steps.
A collective redundancy (despedimento coletivo) is a legally regulated mass鈥憀ayoff process in Portugal that requires employer notification and consultation with worker representatives and labour authorities, and often includes social measures or redeployment plans. For workers and local communities鈥攕uch as the 163 employees affected at Yazaki鈥檚 Ovar factory鈥攖his process signals significant job losses that may trigger unemployment support and labour鈥憁arket measures, so employees should seek information from their union and the labour authority (ACT).
