"They've left a whole life behind to invest in a future here. I would like Northvolt to answer the question of how they're going to look after these people," said Lena Lundgren, local coordinator for the IF Metall metalworkers' union. This highlights the personal impact of layoffs on migrant workers who have made significant sacrifices for employment and stability in Sweden.
Northvolt stated in an email to Ekot that they are in contact with the people affected to help them. This indicates the company's efforts to provide support and communication during this challenging transition.
"As difficult as this will be, focusing on what is our core business paves the way for us to build a strong long-term foundation for growth that contributes to the Western ambitions to establish a homegrown battery industry," explained Northvolt CEO Peter Carlsson. This points to the company's strategic focus amidst economic challenges.
Earlier in September, Northvolt noted it had not finalized decisions on redundancies but acknowledged necessary discussions with unions to minimize job losses. This reflects their commitment to navigating workforce reductions responsibly.
