In practice, this means yesterday’s news Ericsson move out the last of the production that existed in Sweden. The manufacturing would be done by others, elsewhere.
Thus realized the worst fears from October, when the management launched the last major austerity package.
For despite the fact that many of those who are now redundant long worked for Ericsson is yesterday’s announcement is not only a blow against them as individuals or against the Kumla and Borås places.
the News will change the company Ericsson, and by extension, perhaps with Sweden.
the IF Metall’s chairman Anders Ferbe has time and again highlighted the relationship between industrial development and production. If the manufacturing is moved, it affects eventually also work with new products.
– What motivates Ericsson to retain the research and development in Sweden if you do not have a production, asks Ferbe in the day’s Work.
And – would you be able to continue – how, Ericsson is able to maintain its position on the rock hard and very competitive telecommunications market if the company can’t offer their own unique solutions developed in close cooperation with your own manufacture?
It is not the employees in Kumla, or Borås, which is located behind Ericsson’s problems. But they still get to pay the price for the directors mistakes.
