• 01On Tuesday, Nyugat.hu received information from employees at the Sárvár plant indicating that Flex could lay off up to 2,000 employees by the end of the year.
• 02As Nyugat.hu writes, rumors spread as early as August that the plant’s workforce—currently standing at about 1,000 permanent staff and 400 to 600 temporary workers—could be significantly reduced.
• 03There are also discrepancies between the two reports, which were issued at different times: the August report still mentioned a workforce reduction of approximately 1,000 to 1,200 employees, whereas the current reports already estimate that up to 2,000 employees will be laid off.
• 04At the time, it was indicated that the number of permanent employees could drop to around 400, with temporary workers being completely phased out.
• 05The site employs nearly 3,000 people in total, meaning such cuts would impact a significant portion of its staff.
• 06In addition to company executives and city officials, Viktor Orbán, in his role as Prime Minister at the time, attended the inauguration ceremony.
