Description
The Spanish supermarket chain Supersol, property of the Lithuanian retail group Maxima, has announced a collective redundancy plan affecting 252 employees in both central and regional offices.
The trade union UGT has pointed out that this workforce staff adjustment is a consequence of the announced purchase of 172 Supersol supermarkets (mainly in Andalusia and Madrid) by the French multinational Carrefour for €78 million.
Currently, the company and workers' representatives are negotiating the terms of the plan. This announcement comes after the collective redundancy of the company in 2019, which finally affected 294 people.
