Ergriffene Maßnahmen: SK On Hungary responded to Radio Free Europe, saying is has contracts with temporary employment agencies, and that there had been no layoffs but that it had “terminated the renting of approximately 600 foreign guest workers”. It says it did not employ the workers but “rented them”, and so the concept of severance pay could not be legally interpreted from the company’s perspective. Alfa Works did not respond to the journalists’ request for comment. Ramai Sayakat Agency responded to the journalists, saying “companies go bankrupt sometimes” and that “this kind of thing happens”.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been a vocal critic of migrants coming to the European Union, but his government's own official figures show there are 120,000 migrant workers in Hungary, mostly from Ukraine, Serbia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. An RFE/RL investigation has uncovered how vulnerable some of these workers can be, in danger of losing their jobs without warning and being left without residency papers. In a recent case, more than 200 Kyrgyz lost their jobs at a factory owned by a subsidiary of South Korean conglomerate SK Group.
