The Spanish construction company FCC has announced the dismissal of 1,000 employees till the end of 2013 in Spain. The dismissals are part of the company’s strategic plan 2013-2015 and are attributed to the drop in the demand in the construction sector.
Update 24-04-2013: the company has reached an agreement with the unions UGT and CCOO to apply for a Redundancy Procedure affecting 842 employees.
