The company proposes to relocate 40 workers to Aldaya

The company offers compensation for the transfer of those wishing to travel to Valencia, early retirement from 58 years old and compensation equal to 30 days of work per year, capped at 18 monthly payments – an offer that unions say is unaffordable. However, unions say Danone is proposing a phased closure of the Parets del Vallès plant, which produces products such as Oikos yoghurts, and wants the plant closed by the end of the year for 90% of its output. Aldaya plant suggests this

and the remaining 10% at the Belgian plant.

For their part, Danone sources assured that The social plan began to be discussed at the negotiating table and that the company is committed to reindustrialization, and to this end it has hired consulting firm LHH to minimize the impact of the plant closure on the workforce and find a buyer.

Manifestation

Meanwhile, The works council continues to mobilize and on the following Monday, February 12, it called a demonstration in Barcelona against the closure of the plant. In mid-January, Danone announced that it intended to close its plant in Parets del Valles, which employs 157 people and where the company produces products such as Oikos, Alpro and Vitalineawhile in Spain the group employs 2,000 people.

The Danone group has six factories in Spain: three for the production of dairy products and three for the production of water. The Parets plant is part of industrial enterprises producing dairy products, along with Tres Cantos (Madrid) and Aldaya

and water ones – in San Ilari Sacalma (Girona), Lanjaron (Granada) and Sigüenza (Guadalajara).
