Santander Totta has started notifying workers affected by the collective dismissals ongoing within the banking sector. In all, 145 people are believed to be affected. They will only leave the bank next year, writes ECO online, as by law they require 75 days notice. A source for the bank has said that in the intervening period it will “continue to accept friendly recisions, offering more favourable terms of exit”.

This situation say bank workers go on strike, for the first time in 22 years, earlier this month (click here).
