The trade union of bank employees ETYK has rejected an early retirement scheme offered by the Cyprus Development Bank (CDB), which wants to cut personnel costs by 35%. ETYK said it was not prepared to accept any unilateral actions that violated collective agreements and that it ‘had asked for an agreed, attractive voluntary exit scheme’ that will lighten the bank’s payroll.
