On the other hand, with regard to geographical mobility, the company has explained the scope of the measures and compensations.
Likewise, regarding the modification of certain working conditions, the institution Management has insisted on its will to carry out a harmonization process taking as a reference the conditions existing at Unicaja Banco, and provided that it does not involve additional expenses for the bank.
