On 7 March 2019, Flormar, Yves Rocher’s Turkey subsidiary, signed a resolution agreement to a dispute that had seen the Petrol-is union pit itself against the company for almost 300 days. A press statement from 12 March 2019 and published on the global trade union federation IndustriALL Global website indicated that the company had agreed to pay severance payments, notice payments and special compensation equal to 16-months’ salary to each of the 132 dismissed workers, without waiting for the results of the pending union court cases. The dispute originated from the fact that some employees at the Gebze factory had joined the Petrol-Is union and according to IndustriALL Global, in reply, management laid off the newly affiliated union member employees.
