Translation office Euroscript has announced it intends to lay off 13 employees over the next two years. In 2013 the company already cut 70 jobs via a social plan, which the company now tries to evade by spreading the layoffs over a period of two years. Unions have responded enraged, arguing Euroscript is using the loss of a big contract to cut as many jobs as possible and does so without due process.
