Bornholms Tidende faces criticism over delivery driver layoffs

Bornholms Tidende has implemented a major restructuring and route network recalculation, resulting in the dismissal of over 20 delivery drivers. The layoffs were reportedly communicated via email with only four days' notice.

Critics have expressed concern regarding the social responsibility of the newspaper, noting that many of the affected workers are pensioners or early retirees. For these individuals, the roles provided essential income and daily structure. While the newspaper stated the changes were not driven by financial necessity and that remaining staff received more hours, observers argue that the hours could have been redistributed among more workers to avoid such significant job losses.
