Borsodi cuts staff

Borsodi Brewery Rt is going to lay off 48 of its 650 workers in a month. The reason for the decision was the increasing inflow of cheap imported canned beers. A few months ago the cheapest beers cost over Ft 100; now a beer can be had for Ft 49, causing the company to lose its market share. Around 12 employees will go into retirement, and the rest will be helped to find another job. (Vg 15) G.R.
