Blockbuster Cost-Cutting Hits Spain Hard

ThinkSpain is reporting that Blockbuster "will be closing all of its 94 stores in Spain, resulting in the loss of 688 jobs."

According to a spokesman for the UGT trade union, the decision has been made for economic reasons in the face of competition from pirateers, digital TV providers, and changes in the way prefer to spend their free time, all of which has made the business unprofitable.

An agreement has been struck whereby workers will be compensated with between 24 to 35 days for each year of service.

Rent or buy one movie at Blockbuster at Spain costs the double that the rest of the countries. If they are bad competence, their bussiness is over.
