Layoffs at the Parajd Salt Mine: 60 people will be dismissed

The National Salt Company (Salrom) plans to lay off 60 out of 125 employees from the Parajd salt mine, which has been closed since a flood in May last year. The flood caused significant damage, filling the mine with water and leading to evacuations due to collapse risks. Since the incident, employees have mostly been on forced leave, but now the company is implementing a restructuring program that includes mass layoffs. The layoffs are expected to occur between November 23-24, affecting mainly miners, most of whom are still of working age, while a few are nearing retirement.
