One of the most shaky news in the casino industry was the acquisition of its rival Evolution's game development platform NetEnt. Nearly 2 billion transactions mean massive job cuts in many NetEnt offices, including Malta.
However, when the GWU was not notified of the job cuts, the Maltese General Labor Union came to the district court with the intention of preventing layoffs. The higher court yesterday blocked the possibility of firing workers until a review on Dec. 17.
All in all, GWU found a compromise with the two game companies, and Evolution guaranteed that 40 workers would be offered alternative positions. At the same time, another 60 workers will find new jobs in Malta's financial and gaming sectors.
One of the other benefits laid-off workers will receive is a mandatory payment of EUR 750 to everyone. In addition, affected employees will receive better safety protection, including those on maternity leave.
Joseph Bugeja, GWU's general secretary, commented on the agreement and praised the cooperation with the game because everything possible was done. The Maltese organization then rescinded the restraining order. 경마사이트
