CWT, first meeting on 190 redundancies
I sindacati chiedono di ritirare i licenziamenti: l’agenzia di business travel si è riservata di dare una risposta entro l’inizio della prossima settimana
Italian trade unions Filcams, Fisascat, and Uiltucs are urging CWT to withdraw a collective layoff procedure affecting 190 employees, about 45% of its 429 staff. CWT was acquired by Amex GBT in 2025, which was then bought by private equity fund Long Lake Management for $6.3 billion. The unions argue that there are alternative solutions, such as voluntary exits and internal mobility within the Amex GBT group.
The company has until Monday to respond, and if it refuses to withdraw the layoffs, the unions threaten to start protests. The unions claim that CWT's restructuring is driven by economic motives and the introduction of artificial intelligence, which they say should not come at the cost of jobs.
