Labor Relations and Human Rights Practices

The decision to lay off additional workers — cutting 9 jobs on top of a significant reduction from 167 to 69 employees — reflects a disregard for worker security and fair labor practices. Such mass layoffs during financial turmoil can have severe negative impacts on employees and undermine labor rights, especially when driven by mismanagement rather than strategic, ethical restructuring. This action negatively affects the company’s standing in terms of ethical business practices and worker welfare.
