Prievidza, October 6 (TASR) - Korean company Yura Corporation Slovakia wants to open a new branch in Slovakia in Pravenec, near Prievidza (Trencin region), and is already looking for staff.
The cable-bundle producer for Kia, which already has assembly plants in Prievidza, wants to employ other 250 people.
According to director of the Labour, Social Affairs and the Family Office in Prievidza Jozef Stopka, the company launched recruitment of new employees on Wednesday. The first 140 people should be employed within two weeks.
"In the recent period, the economic and financial crisis has seriously affected our region ... where almost 2,000 employees have lost their jobs since last year," emphasised Stopka.
Yura Corporation Slovakia started production in Slovakia in 2006 and it currently employs 5,000 people.
[The South Korean company has been recently accused by their employees of bullying, applying unlawful workplace practices such as requiring overly long shifts in their assembly plant in Rimavska Sobota or Hnusta (Banska Bystrica region). The management of the company has repudiated the accusations, however. - ed. note].
