That’s interesting, how does hard-to-fire law combine with a company that needs to have layoffs?

[yobbo]

Hard-to-fire typically means only specific and provable reasons are valid.

"Shrinking the org" is a valid reason.

I guess it works for companies which are not part of the union?

[Ylpertnodi]

"The union" should be "a union", of which, companies are rarely a part of ie zero. Their workforce may be a member of a union, some equals in grade may belong to different unions.

Thank you for your generous correction but you could rather address the point I was trying to make.
