Additional Information
Swedish truck manufacturer Volvo Trucks will hire 200 employees at their plant in Tuve, Gothenburg. The newly hired employees will initially be contracted for six months but the management hopes to hire them permanently. The reason for employing the new workers on temporary contracts is because of the uncertain market according to factory manager Johan Jinhage. Volvo Trucks have rehired employees in several rounds recently (see fact sheets 14583, 15027, 15296, 15456)
