During this general assembly, the DG made commitments to the union because according to a bank employee “frankly, there are a lot of problems, the social dialogue is broken, there are frustrations, the staff is not comfortable, there is general dissatisfaction, there is unease, so the union has stepped up to denounce this. The general management has promised to submit the series of complaints of employees through the union to the Board which will be tainted soon and see what will be considered. We will see during this council what are the measures that will be taken to satisfy the feeling of unease in the company “he testifies.
