The bank UniCredit has reached a deal with unions to cut 2,400 jobs in the first stage of workforce reductions foreseen in the bank's 2013-18 restructuring plan. The country's biggest bank by assets announced in March 2014 that it aimed to cut around 8,500 jobs by 2018 - nearly 6 percent of its workforce - including more than 5,700 in Italy. UniCredit agreed, as part of the deal, to hire 800 young people and put 670 existing apprentices on permanent contracts, while talks on the remaining job cuts foreseen in the plan will continue.
