Description

The Confederation of Christian Trade Unions in Belgium unveiled plans to cut 200 workplaces from now until August 2015.

Reportedly, this is due to the organisation’s financial difficulties.

According to the union’s leader, the job cuts will be implemented via the early retirement of workers older than 58. There will be no forced dismissals.
