Globant lanza un ERE para 172 personas en España por la IA
CCOO ha rechazado el proceso de despido colectivo y niega las causas alegadas por la empresa. Leer
Technology firm Globant has announced a collective layoff of 172 employees in Spain, representing 15% of its workforce. The company attributes this decision to organizational and productivity issues stemming from a change in their international model and the impact of artificial intelligence, among other factors. According to sources from Europe Press, the dismissals will only affect positions that are not assigned to a project. Globant Spain employs a total of 1,121 workers across Barcelona, Logroño, Madrid, and Málaga.
The Communications Workers of America (CCOO) has rejected the collective layoff, demanding transparency and real alternatives. They warned of taking legal and union actions if their demands are not met. During their first meeting with the negotiation table on August 14th, CCOO rejected the collective dismissal and disputed the company's cited reasons.
The union organization highlighted that these reasons were not substantiated and called for transparency, good faith, full information access, and a genuine willingness to explore formulas to minimize the impact on employment. The union also emphasized the importance of addressing this significant decision with transparency, rigor, and responsibility, warning that they will take appropriate legal and union measures to defend the rights of the workforce.
Globant is a multinational Argentine technology company specializing in digital transformation services, software engineering, design, and AI solutions.
