Unions have organised strike actions at the Gruppo Monte Paschi di Siena (MPS) to protest against massive lay-offs as the company struggles in the financial crisis. The MPS management announced in April that it foresees 4,600 redundancies, cuts on supplementary contract, the outsourcing of back office services and the closure of 400 branches. Trade unions have condemned the lack of dialogue and willingness to find a better solution.
