Dutch Chip Equipment Company Reduces Planned Job Cuts Following Union Negotiations

A major semiconductor equipment manufacturer has announced plans to reduce the scope of previously announced job eliminations following negotiations with labor organizations in the Netherlands, according to union representatives.

The layoffs at ASML are now scheduled to commence in May 2027, according to company spokesperson Monique Mols. She indicated that workers will receive notification about their employment status before the conclusion of this month. Mols noted that rather than termination, some employees may find their positions restructured within the organization.

“We want to see as few people as possible forced to leave,” Mols stated.
