He said an analysis was made in each division before deciding who will leave.
“Nearly 400 people will be laid off as of tomorrow (Monday-e.n.). When the list of the people who will leave was completed, each sector was analyzed and their contracts were taken into consideration. We’re talking about the locomotive, equipment and electric engines factory,” Bojenoiu said.
