Spain's Banco Santander (Amsterdam: 817651.AS - news) , the eurozone's biggest lender, will slash 1,100 jobs as part of a restructuring following its purchase of smaller rival Banco Popular, unions said Tuesday.
"The reorganisation of the central services of Banco Santander and Banco Popular will affect 1,100 people....the vast majority through early retirement," unions representing the lender's workers said in a statement after they signed an agreement with management.
Santander bought Popular (NasdaqGS: BPOP - news) at the beginning of June for the symbolic price of one euro to help avert its looming collapse.
At the time, Santander estimated the cost of the restructuring following this operation would be 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion).
Santander had nearly 201,000 employees around the world as of the end of September. Before Popular was bought by Santander, it had around 11,000 employees.
