From the article:
Never before has a Spanish university presented an Employment Regulation Plan (or ERE in Spanish) – which involves workers leaving permanently as part of a ‘collective dismissal’ – to its teaching staff.
That is why the 275 layoffs – mostly teachers – proposed by the British investment fund Permira at the Universidad Europea has caused fear and anger among higher education institutions across the country. As a consequence, ‘indefinite’ strikes are being planned for this month.
