Delhaize should have communicated to the works council about its financial situation in April. But only partial figures were communicated, according to a statement jointly distributed by several French-speaking unions and ACV Puls.
The unions fear that the company does not want to put a figure on the actual value of the stores, “to make them easier to sell”. Delhaize “may also try to hide the group’s very good results and possible dividends,” the unions say. They are now being asked to submit the full accounts “as soon as possible”.
In March, Delhaize announced the ‘franchising’ of the 128 integrated supermarkets, the stores under its own management. Although all four unions voted down Delhaize’s concessions – such as a transition bonus of an average of 3,750 euros per employee – the supermarket chain is definitely continuing with its takeover plan. The first privatized supermarkets have already opened their doors.
