April 4, 2025

MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) -Canadian-based tech company Telus is dismissing as many as 2,000 people from its content moderation centre in Barcelona after Facebook owner Meta Platforms severed its contract, local unions CCOO and UGT said. The company – operating locally as CCC Barcelona Digital Services – emailed its workers on Thursday placing them on gardening leave. The email, which Reuters had access to, did not specify who the client was, but UGT and CCOO said Telus’ client was Meta.
