1/22: DHL to cut 200 in Germany

A DHL told the German newspaper Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung the carrier is considering the cutbacks in its express operation.

DHL may lay off up to 200 workers in Germany because cell phone manufacturer Nokia is closing a plant in the country.

Finland-based Nokia, the world’s largest mobile phone company, says it plans to close the plant in Bochum, Germany, by the middle of the year, eliminating some 2,300 jobs. That prompted protests in Germany, but Nokia is cutting back there as it is expanding production at a new factory in Romania, which became part of the European Union a year ago.
