Martinsa Fadesa to cut more jobs
27.01.2009
The property group Martinsa Fadesa has presented a new plan which sees job cuts for 298 workers, over 60 per cent of the 490 staff currently employed, local media reported. Currently in receivership, Martinsa will cut its workforce to 192 people, compared to the 880 employed at the beginning of 2008.
In a meeting with union leaders, the company said that the need for "greater flexibility", and to adapt the company to the current economic situation, justified the second business re-structuring plan. Sources report that the reduction of staff, as well as the sale of assets, is one of the major proposals in the competitive offer to creditors and in the company's viability plan. The group declared itself insolvent with a record debt of EUR 7 billion in July 2008, with Fernando Martin as Chairman.
