The Dia supermarket chain has reached an agreement with worker representatives for the execution of an Employment Regulation File (ERE), which will ultimately affect 47 people in the central offices, compared to the 65 initially planned. Specifically, of that total number, 28 will be subject to collective dismissal compensation and 19 will join income plans.
Last September, the company announced the implementation of the ERE to slim down its operational structure in Spain, a country where it has a workforce of more than 14,000 employees, due to the latest divestitures carried out. As the company explained then, this measure forms part of your strategy to adapt your organizational structure to your current reality with a more focused international perimeter and after having made a significant reduction in establishments. Since 2022, the distribution group has taken key decisions to simplify your operations model and focus its efforts on the strategic markets of Spain and Argentina, which include the sale of Clarel’s businesses to a Colombian group, as well as its supermarkets in Portugal and Brazil, in addition to the sale of more than 200 establishments of its Spanish network to Alcampo.
The decision to carry out this ERE, added the company, responds to the need to “adapt the organization to its new perimeter, thus focusing its efforts on the business units with the greatest potential of growth”. The supermarket group led by Martín Tolcachir lost 93.5 million euros in the first half of 2024, which represents 39% more, due to the costs of the sale of Brazil.
