Description
Sirti, one of the Italian leading companies in management of telecommunications, transport and energy infrastructures, is to cut 760 jobs out of around 4,000 employees. According to the company, the job-cuts are mainly due to the relevant drop in turnover that occurred in the last year.
UPDATE
At the beginning of August, the company and the sectoral trade unions reached an agreement on the reorganisation plan. The agreement envisages 544 job-cuts, instead of 760. For the redundant workers the agreement provides for the recourse to a two-year scheme of extraordinary Wage Guarantee Fund, training and re-training courses, outplacement services, the recourse to mobility allowances and some economic incentives for voluntary dismissals.
