Trade unions outraged over gov't bureaucrat axe plan

Portfolio
It is unacceptable for the government to announce a 15 to 20% cut in central public administration headcount without prior talks and impact studies, the Hungarian Trade Union Confederation (MaSZSZ) stated on Wednesday.
The government said on Tuesday it planned to eliminate parallel structures in the system and to wind up jobs made obsolete by digitalisation, leading to the loss of 15 to 20% of the current 14,000 jobs. The Hungarian Trade Union Confederation finds the lack of consultations unacceptable on a measure that may affect the livelihood of thousands.
