Description
Construction and engineering firm Emte will apply for a redundancy procedure affecting 190 employees. This represents around 17pc of the company’s workforce and cuts are envisaged in Catalonia (123 cuts alone), Castilla y León, Baleares, Basque Country, Andalusia, Canary Island, Madrid, Murcia, Galicia, Comunidad Valenciana and Aragón.
The unions consider that the company can implement alternative measures in order to avoid the dismissals. At the same time, they reject to cut wages by 10%, as the company proposes. As to date, the measure is being negotiated with the unions.
