The management of Coca-Cola Iberian Partners, exclusive Cola bottler in Spain, announced that 1,700 employees registered to take advantage of the three options offered b the company: voluntary leave, early retirement or transfer to another factory of the group. And this is despite the fact that the UGT and CCOO unions called for the rejection of any offer made by the management. Prior to bargaining, the two unions demanded the cancelation of the 4 site closures planned by the company.
Voluntary leave, early retirement and transfer. In January, the company announced that it was closing 4 of its 11 Spanish plants. It intends to cut staffing on the basis of 709 voluntary leaves paid 45 days per year worked – with a 42-month limit – and on early retirement for workers aged 56 and more.
