Dhul announces an ERE in Granada that affects 61 of the 142 workers at the plant, as reported today by UGT. It would affect, in the terms proposed, 42% of the workforce. The company is owned by the French firm Andros since 2013when it was awarded for 2 million euros after the bankruptcy of creditors of Nueva Rumasa (Ruiz Mateos family). The union remembers that at that time the workforce was already reduced significantly with another ERE.
The management, says UGT, has reported that the mechanization of part of the production of the plant and the transfer from one of the lines to another factory of the multinational in Italy makes a workforce adjustment necessary, according to Ideal.
Andros bought Dhul in 2013 for two million euros. Then the bankruptcy administration trusted that this group, which had 25 factories and sales in 100 countries, would ensure the continuity of the factory that was part of Nueva Rumasa.
Negotiation
With the announcement of a new employment regulation file, a negotiation process opens, mandatory before putting it in the hands of the labor authority (in this case the Employment Department). Unions and companies now have a month to try to soften the measure. UGT-FICA assesses “very negatively the destruction of employment and disinvestment in an industry deeply rooted in the business history of Granada.”
The union demands that a negotiation process be opened without having an ERE on the table. “A decision of such profound significance cannot be made without considering all possible solutions before adopting such a measure.” drastic and traumaticand secondly, the opening of a negotiation process with a industrial plan that guarantees all current jobs and proposes a future projection for the staff of this company,” says FICA-UGT.
The factory recently received a Feder incentive of 33,750 euros to replace an old, energy-inefficient steam boiler with a total investment of 187,550 euros.
