Sony Ericsson Cuts Swedish Staff by 400 - by Mikael Ricknäs
Mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson will reduce its workforce by about 400 people in Lund, Sweden, cutting 160 employees and 250 consultants, the company announced on Friday. The site in Lund had a workforce of about 4,000, including 1,000 consultants, before the cuts, according to a spokesman. One hundred consultants were already shown the door in April, a statement said. The cutbacks are part of a plan to lower its global workforce by approximately 2,000 people -- out of a total 10,000 -- by the middle of next year. The plan was announced on April 17, when the company announced its results for the first quarter of 2009.
