Malta court sides with trade union, puts NetEnt layoffs on hold
11th December 2020
| By Daniel O Boyle
Malta’s Superior Court has issued an injunction against NetEnt, blocking the supplier from making layoffs connected to its acquisition by live dealer giant Evolution, following an industrial dispute from labour union the General Workers Union (GWU).
Last week, Evolution announced that it has begun to integrate NetEnt in the wake of its SEK19.60bn (£1.72bn/€1.91bn/$2.30bn) deal for the slot specialist, agreed in June. This will see it make €30m of cost-cutting measures, including 324 layoffs in Malta.
However, this week the General Workers’ Union – which is Malta’s largest trade union and represents the majority of NetEnt’s Malta employees – declared an industrial dispute related to the layoffs and threatened industrial action. It said the businesses failed to acknowledge it as an employee representative for planned layoffs.
