MADRID—Inditex could temporarily lay off all 25,000 of its shop staff in Spain if the country’s state of emergency continues beyond April 15, a company official said on Friday, a sign of how the economic damage of the CCP virus outbreak could worsen.
Employees in logistics, central services, and manufacturing operations would not be affected, the official, who declined to be named, said. Inditex’s headquarters in Arteixo, northern Spain, are the nerve center of the fashion group’s operations.
