BCP reached an agreement with “roughly 80%” of the workers it has contacted about the downsizing currently underway at the bank, CEO Miguel Maia said in a message sent to all bank employees that Negotsios had access to.
In the letter, Maya emphasizes that negotiations with workers and trade unions have enabled us to achieve “what we consider to be an outstanding success.” “Without tension and in an atmosphere of respect, we managed to reach an agreement with about 80% of the workers with whom we contacted,” he specifies.
“Taking into account the success achieved and despite the fact that the remaining number of situations is still being considered, we already know that in order for the number of laid off workers to be minimized (down to about 760 people), it will be necessary to ensure that the versatility of workers who can be fired, effectively, ”he adds.
Collective dismissal of less than 100 employees
Miguel Maia also said that the bank is initiating “unilateral measures to reduce workers, and the number of people who will be covered by these measures will already be less than 100 and will take into account several specific aspects.”
The banker admits that the bank is still facing “a difficult period due to the instability that processes of this nature always cause in organizations.”
