H&M has managed to move forward the employment regulation file (ERE), which will ultimately affect 492 peopleafter the signatures of UGT and CCOO, as union sources informed Europa Press this Friday. Specifically, this October 17, union representatives signed the agreement for the collective dismissal process at H&M.
Thus, both unions highlight that this agreement has been possible because the “priority” objectives they set out have been achieved, which involved minimizing the initial impact, vacancies with more days than those initially offered by the company, as well as voluntariness and “good ” conditions of departure from the company for people who have finally been affected, thus avoiding “traumatic” departures.
The final conditions proposed by the company to settle the ERE negotiations include a reduction of its impact to 492 workers, compared to the 588 layoffs initially proposed, which they subsequently managed to reduce to 521 until the final figure.
In the proposal, the firm places the compensation for those affected between 45 and 33 days per year worked with a limit of 24 monthly payments, which includes a bonus for seniority. Specifically, it will be 2,500 euros for up to five years, 3,500 euros for up to 10 years and 4,500 euros for those who have been in the company for more than 10 years.
It also includes the possibility of exchange – change between affected people who want to remain in the company and people who, voluntarily, without being affected, want to leave -, as well as a support and relocation plan, which in the case of people from 50 years old it will have the duration they need until their relocation.
In the opinion of UGT, this agreement represents a reduction in the initial impact of the collective dismissal proposed by the company and “sufficiently” improves the conditions for voluntary departure of H&M workers.
