NH Hotels, a Spanish-based hotel chain, is to cut 382 jobs in Italy. At the end of July, the company has started the procedures for collective dismissal of 382 workers employed in the hotels located at Catania, Palermo, Sassari and Siena.
The trade unions reacted to the company's decision by going on strike.
NH Hotels has around 1400 employees in Italy.
