Over the next three months Stadler will reduce the number of employees at its factory in Alternrhein, which is currently more than 960, by around 60. Stadler employs about 250 temporary workers at the plant and 90% of the redundancies will concern these employees. Further reductions will be achieved by natural attrition.
