Description
The drink vending machines company Selecta has announced an employment adjustment affecting 300 workers (27% of its entire workforce). The reasons given for dismissals are of economic nature. The trade union CCOO, rejects the justification provided by the company and has called for an indefinite strike to be started on 19 February. The trade unions representing company workers and management had a meeting in the Interconfederal Service of Mediation and Arbitration (SIMA) but they did not achieve an agreement. The last offer of the company would be, according to the source, to implement 138 dismissals and postpone the remaining dismissals.
