Seat said it had agreed 660 layoffs with unions, down from an originally planned 1,346, according to Reuters.
“The agreement that we have reached will allow us to considerably reduce forced layoffs,” Seat chairman Andreas Schleef said in a press release cited by the news agency.
The agreement comes after a series of strikes in protest at the job cut proposals which initially amounted to about 9% of the workforce, Reuters noted.
