Dexia bank announced the cutting of 445 jobs in Belgium. This plan is part of a bigger restructuring process that will concern jobs in France and Luxembourg too. The bank that was severely hit by the financial crisis intends to save 600 million euros until 2011 and improve the efficiency of its different departments. In Belgium, the management intends to discuss with the trade unions in order to avoid direct dismissals as much as possible and to promote early retirements and other job reduction measures. link to earlier fact sheet http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/emcc/erm/factsheets/12614
