For the meeting with the staff, Nokia said the main content of the talks is the restructuring of the company's organizational structure and job placement arrangements, does not involve layoffs. "The issue of layoffs is not on the list of topics under discussion, because it is not clear how the company's strategic reorganization will affect the number of employees in the future," said Doug Dawson, a spokeswoman for Nokia Dassen. "Antti Rinne, chairman of the Finnish White Collar trade union Ammattiliitto Pro, says Nokia is likely to talk about layoffs." "In accordance with the law, if the company plans to restructure the entire structure, then he must also consider redundancy matters."
