kscarbel2 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Goteborgs-Posten / June 2, 2016 Volvo Trucks will introduce a new night shift at its Tuve heavy truck assembly plant in Gothenberg where the truckmaker is headquartered. Production will increase by almost 50 percent, according to financial journal Dagens Industri. Swedish trade union IF Metall says Volvo Trucks will need to add 300 to 500 additional people to the plant’s roster. Today, 800 to 900 people are employed at Volvo’s Tuve truck plant. “We will begin negotiating with Volvo next week”, says Ove Holmström, IF Metall branch board member at Volvo in Gothenburg. Volvo has confirmed that that the production rate at Tuve will increase, but refuses to state how many new workers will be recruited.

kscarbel2 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Given that Volvo Group is one big family, I was surprised to see the truckmaker isn't giving first offer to laid off U.S. Macungie plant employees willing to relocate to Tuve.
