The shutters of the Auchan hypermarket at the Conca D’Oro shopping center in Palermo close. A closure that also tore a few tears from the 180 employees present, in front of applauding customers.
Employees who, in the last 30 years, have worked first in the “Città Mercato” hypermarket in via Ugo la Malfa and then at Auchan del Conca D’Oro since 2013.
From 7 September “Pianeta Cospea”, a company wholly owned by Pac 2000, becomes the owner of the hypermarket but with a reduced surface area of 6100 square meters compared to the current 9300 square meters. The fear is that not all of Auchan’s retiring employees will be able to get a job. Negotiations with the trade unions are still ongoing and the company has already contacted the workers who will be transferred to Pianeta Cospea, about 120 out of 172.
So at the moment 52 workers will remain employed by Margherita Distribuzione and in layoffs. Uiltucs at the negotiating table asked “Pianeta Cospea” to work to ensure that all workers are hired.
