Barona withdraws up to 81 agency workers from Škoda Transtech plant

Staffing provider Barona is withdrawing up to 81 agency workers deployed at Škoda Transtech's rail-vehicle plant in Otanmäki (Kajaani) — welders, machinists, surface finishers among them; around 20 have already been placed elsewhere. The trigger is a drop in orders reported by Škoda Transtech. This is a distinct consequence at the staffing firm, first quantified on 17 July; the restructuring at Škoda Transtech itself (up to 200 permanent staff) had already become known in May 2026 (second source: Kainuun Sanomat).
