Negotiations affecting around 100 persons initiated by Ruukki Construction Oy in November 2011 to adjust production and costs at the Ylivieska works in Finland to weakened market conditions have now been completed.

The employer employee negotiations have resulted in the works' personnel being laid off according to a separate plan depending on market conditions.

Ruukki is exploring the possibilities of arranging work at its other sites instead of layoffs for the persons affected.
