Six hundred employees of the US – led Iceland Defense Force received letters of termination yesterday. Most will be laid off from September 30th, or six months from now. According to Morgunbladid further lay-offs of 200 – 300 people, can be expected at companies that serve the Defense Force such as contractors.
