Getir, a Turkish company specialising in home delivery activities from supermarkets and based in Spain since 2020, has presented a redundancy plan (“Expediente de Regulación de Empleo”, ERE in Spanish) to trade union representatives for its entire workforce in Spain (1,560 workers). The company has justified the measure due to economic, productive and organisational causes. Trade unions assure that Getir is offering for the moment a financial compensation of 20 days per year worked, with a maximum of 12 monthly payments, as well as a relocation plan and the signing of a special agreement for those over 55 years old. Market sources explain that the company will try to avoid a complete redundancy in order to try to stay in the country.
