According to data by the Labor Inspection in the district city, 300 workers from the wagon repairs factory in Septemvri will be laid off by the end of April, while 196 employees will be discharged by the Panagyurishte company "Asarel-Medet" by May 20.
Notification of a lay off of 160 people by the end of May has been given by the firm "Kauchuk" in Pazardzhik.
The forecast of the experts is that by the middle of the year a lot more workers than what has been officially announced will be laid off.
The reason is that for lay offs in a firm with up to 10 employees, the employer is not bound to officially announce the number of employees, who are being sent to the labor market.
