Description
On 24 February the unions and security group G4S rached an agreement on a social plan for the 400 employees that will be dismissed in the coming months due to the closure of a number of prisons by the Ministry of Justice. G4S is responsible for part of the safety operation in the prison centres. An earlier social plan was rejected by the unions. The new plan was agreed after a strike of almost two weeks.
