Staff reduction and “outflagging” with Gartner KG
No regional bond for Gartner Transport Holding The headquarters in Edt/Lambach shall be maintained, but due to the economic crisis and the market environment those steps will be taken and continued, which showed massive negative impacts on Austrian employees (1,030 persons). This was announced by the Management of Gartner KG after yesterday’s meeting of the Upper Austrian regional government. At the meeting political representatives rejected the application of the biggest Austrian transport company for regional bond. In response to this decision the Gartner Management announced a staff reduction and the “outflagging“ of trucks to Eastern Europe. “Austrian transport enterprises can’t decide on an economic basis unless they adjust costs to market situations“, Richard Gartner, Head of the company, stated as a reason for these steps.
