ABN AMRO plans to lay off a fifth of staff at its offices, according to the banking trade union. The branch, which has offices in Kirchberg, plans to axe up to 30 jobs from its 153-strong workforce and intends to negotiate on a social plan with the unions. The trade unions have asked more time to gather certain documents regarding working hours in an effort to lower the number of redundancies required and avoid creating a new social plan.
