Union leader Petru Vaidos told Mediafax Tuesday the list of employees willing to leave the company will be analyzed by the management, which will decide who may go. Workers in overstaffed departments will be allowed to leave, while restrictions will apply for departments with staff deficit, he added.
According to Vaidos, the company will offer severance pay equivalent to five to 18 salaries, as well as between 15,000 lei (EUR3,306) and RON19,000 per employee at departure.
The latest voluntary leave program at ArcelorMittal Hunedoara took place in March 2009, when about 400 left the company.
ArcelorMittal Hunedoara employs some 800 people. (EUR1=RON4.537)
