Description
The textile German company Alematex-Indústria de Confecções announced its closure. The measure will affect 100 workers (in majority women), who will be dismissed through individual termination of contracts. The closure is due to the loss of orders and the accumulated debts of the company. The 100 workers of Alematex demand the payment of the Christmas subsidy and the days worked in April. The textile company has been based in Portugal for 30 years.
