June 10 (Reuters) - Chip-equipment maker ASML will cut fewer jobs than initially planned, Dutch unions said in a statement after talks with ASML.

Redundancies are now expected to take effect from May 2027, ASML spokesperson Monique Mols said, adding that employees will be informed before the end of this month whether their roles are affected. She said instead of redundancy, some might see their roles changed within the company.

"We want to see as few people as possible forced to leave", she said.
