Koppers Netherlands Requests Advice of Dutch Works Council Regarding Future of Tar Distillation Plant
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2013) - Koppers Netherlands B.V., a
subsidiary of Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP), has requested the advice of the
Works Council at its Uithoorn, Netherlands plant with respect to an intended
decision to discontinue the manufacturing of coal tar and petroleum products at
the Uithoorn facility by July 1, 2014. The intended decision would unfortunately
result in a collective dismissal of many plant employees. The Company intends to
handle the entire reorganization process in compliance with applicable law,
including full respect for the advisory powers of the Works Council before a
decision may be taken. Due to the confidential nature of these discussions, the
Company is unable to offer further comments at the present time.
