All expenses and travel must be paused
The new announcement about pausing expenses and travel was announced internally on Friday. It is the respective managers who must ensure that the decision is complied with by the employees.
The decision also covers employee activities and the purchase of merch products for the labor law.
“As we announced in a press release on Monday, we are making several tough decisions to keep costs down. These measures are part of that work,” writes Northvolt’s communications manager Matti Kataja to SVT Västerbotten.

The newspaper Norran has spoken to several employees who express great concern about how extensive the publicized crisis really is. From the management side, it is said to be completely silent, according to “several informed sources”.
