The Federation of Beverage Workers and Employees is now seeking a solution to the new disagreement that has arisen between the union and the company.
The plant of Mines of National Breweries (FNC) The factory did not open its doors on Monday as planned due to a disagreement between the company and the union regarding the workers to be reinstated in the workplace. Now, a new stage of negotiation begins in order not to jeopardize the opening of the factory.
Despite the agreement reached after many talks and the intervention of the government, which was highly questioned by some sectors, the FNC Minas plant did not resume operations at the beginning of the month. This Monday, the factory was due to open its doors with 30 of the 59 workers who will finally return to work, 60% of the effective workforce that worked there.
However, one difference between the company and the workers Regarding who will be reinstated, it truncated, at least for the moment, the restarting of the plant.
The problem would have been that FNC does not want certain workers due to the “personal file” both operational and sanctions,” he explained. Fernando Ferreira, President of the Federation of Beverage Workers and Employees (FOEB)to Telemundo.
The union, which had put together a list based on seniority, is now seeking a alternative: “It would be quite foolish of us that once the reopening of the plant with 59 effective colleagues out of 91 has been achieved, approved the return plan “In an assembly with more than 1,000 comrades, this goes overboard. We must find a solution to this issue,” said the FOEB leader.
The reopening plan
The reopening was to take place three months after FNC announced the closure of the Minas plant due to problems with competitiveness in the sector, which made the activity unsustainable.
After long days of dialogue and various meetings since the beginning of May, the factory in question was supposed to resume operations on Monday 5th, after reaching an agreement with all parties.
The first 59 factory employees to resume activities would be reintegrated in two stages: the first one, which should have already begun and contemplated the reinstatement of 30 workers to carry out maintenance tasks at the plant; and the second in September, with another 29 employees remaining to continue the canning.
More than 60 workers will no longer return to their duties, since they accepted the retirement plan incentives proposed by the company.
