Carrefour Romanina closes forever

“Attention please, it’s 9 pm and Carrefour is closing. To all my colleagues, this is my last announcement: our Carrefour Romanina will close forever” – Claudia, one of the workers at the supermarket that will be closed down, said into the microphone. Her voice broken by emotion, the message interrupted by applause. “A warm greeting to our colleagues for these twenty years spent together through ups and downs. Only in this period have we understood the importance of the word ‘colleague’ which today has turned into ‘friend’ and ‘friend’. We have become one big extended family and one big team and we will remain so even if divided. Good luck to everyone, wherever we are.”

The divestment of Carrefour

The one of Carrefour Romanina is the umpteenth disposal of large surfaces which belong to the French chain, a fate already befallen the Carrefour hypermarkets of Centocelle, now years ago, and Frosinone, sold to the Dem brand of the Gros group. Fall in receipts, relaunch never happened: this is why Carrefour has decided to close the Romanina store.

The workers transferred to other supermarkets in Rome

After a period of uncertainty and concern, an agreement has arrived between the unions and the company which has made it possible to safeguard the future of the 70 workers involved in the closure of the supermarket. According to RomaToday, important figures have been agreed for those employees who have chosen the incentived exit on an exclusively voluntary basis. Those who, on the other hand, will be relocated to the other points of sale in the city will receive hardship allowance: in fact, from 1 December the employees of Carrefour Romanina will be transferred to the other supermarkets in the Rome area. Behind them they leave over twenty years of service in the historic store and the long and warm applause of customers.
