Multiple reports about the same development are grouped; each source is retained.- CWT Italia redundancy plan revoked, talks continuelabor dispute
CWT Italia, an Amex GBT unit now under Long Lake ownership, revoked an Oct 4 plan to cut 190 of its 429 staff on Oct 23 after union pushback, but at talks on Oct 30 it maintained that it has a staff surplus; further meetings are set for Nov 9, 12, 17 and 24. Unions describe it as one of the first cases of AI affecting jobs; that is the unions' framing, and we found no Long Lake or Amex GBT statement linking the plan to AI.
