Iskra Avtoelektrika to Lay Off 245 Workers

Šempeter pri Gorici, 16 July - Car electronics manufacturer Iskra Avtoelektrika will start laying off 245 of its workers in August, the company's spokesman Erik Panjtar told STA on Thursday. A 40% drop in orders forced the company to resort to layoffs despite state subsidies for a shortened working week, which finish at end of July.
