Swedish battery maker Northvolt has faced backlash following its decision to pay out 5.4 million dollars in bonuses to select employees after mass layoffs. Approximately 400 employees protested, prompting a new, broader bonus scheme aimed specifically at factory workers. This new program, costing around 6 million dollars, will offer bonuses tied to performance and will cover about 1,800 employees at the Skelleftea factory. Northvolt's communications chief emphasized the importance of this scheme during a critical stage for the company as it looks to retain production workers with less generous terms than the previous payout.
The new bonus scheme is aimed at production workers to reward and ensure retention during this critical stage, with a focus on broader company support.
The previous bonus program for key employees led to protests, prompting a new initiative targeting 1,800 factory workers to foster loyalty amidst challenges.
