Negotiations about a redundancy programme for the lingerie producer Triumph have started between representatives of the trade union, the works council and the management. Two works will be closed and up to 100 people will lose their jobs in the headquarters in Wiener Neustadt. The first redundancies will be made in October 2013 by which time a social plan for the 350 affected staff will be set up. As the company wants to try and reduce uncertainty among their employees, they are all informed on possible steps.
