The final agreement for the employment regulation file (ERE) that will ultimately affect 492 people in H&M has moved forward with the signatures of UGT and CC.OO., as reported this Friday by union sources.
Specifically, it was this Thursday when the unions UGT and CC.OO. signed the agreement for the collective dismissal process at H&M, started last September 17.
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 exit from the company for people who have finally been affected, thus avoiding “traumatic” exits.
The final conditions proposed by the company to settle the ERE negotiations include a reduction in its impact to 492 workers, compared to the 588 layoffs initially plannedwhich they later 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 seniority bonus. Specifically, it will be 2,500 euros for up to five years, 3,500 for up to 10 years and 4,500 euros for those who have been in the company for more than that time.
It also includes the possibility of exchanging –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 over 50 years of age will have the duration that they need until their relocation.
In the opinion of UGT, this agreement represents a reduction of the initial impact of collective dismissal raised by the company and “sufficiently” improves the conditions for voluntary departure of H&M workers.
