Statement of the Select Committee of UniCredit European Works Council

As Select Committee of the European Works Council of the Group we address a clear message to the Group Management.

We understand that the bank of the future must evolve the service model, especially in process simplification and investments in digitization and on this point we claim a consultation and negotiations through the social dialogue with the management at all levels and in all Countries.
But if this will involve a job cutting program, we announce that the Unions, the Employees Representatives and the EWC will fight with strong determination such plans. The employees have already paid a high price within the last multiyear plans and we will not accept additional job cuttings.
