Czech truck maker Tatra, which planned to make redundant 167 workers before end of this year, gave in to the company’s trade union and has promised to 91 of the workers in writing that by June 2011 at the latest it will take them back at the same wage as now.

Union chairman Pavel Baron told local daily Právo that as far as demand for Tatra’s lorries goes, next year should be slightly better than what it had looked like a month ago. The first workers should leave the company in November 2010, he added.
