Vodafone Spain plans to cut up to 515 jobs amid intense competition
British telecommunications company Vodafone said on Wednesday its Spanish unit planned to cut up to 515 jobs, mainly in its commercial operations, as it faces "challenging conditions on the competitive Spanish market". "For some years now, intense price competition and the drift towards low-value fees in Spain has led to a sharp fall in revenues and a significant margin deterioration," Vodafone Spain said in a statement. Labour unions denounced the move as an attempt to hide executives' failure to redirect the company and called for innovation and greater efficiency instead of job cuts.
