Kutxabank is planning to implement an employment adjustment plan that may affect 600 workers (around 10% of its entire workforce). According to the news published, it is likely that Kutxabank will dismiss 300 workers in April, even it is not official yet. The company and the trade unions have been negotiating in the previous months alternatives to ensure the future of the bank. The bank proposed in November 2016 a plan with voluntary leaves and voluntary working time reduction schemes. However, the agreement was not possible and at the end, the management of the bank has decided to stop the negotiations.
