From PSUC viu express our deepest solidarity to the working class factory Panrico Santa Perpetua de la Mogoda (Barcelona) and the distribution centers of Catalunya. Panrico template launched on Saturday 7 February, a strike that lasted until the following Saturday 14 to protest against offshoring a production line and the failure of the collective agreement signed in 2007, by which the direction of the company promised not to make transfers of production during the term hereof. At the same time, workers Panrico require application of the inflation forecast (2%) in the pay scales and not the actual CPI (1.6%) and is currently implementing the direction of the company, again in breach of the Convention group and by losing its workforce by 0.6% of its purchasing power.
Panrico mark used in Catalonia to about 800 workers, of whom 450 work at the plant in Santa Perpetua de la Mogoda, where the range is distributed puff pastry and a Catalunya, Baleares, Aragon and Valencia. However, the claim of the company is shifting some production to the factory that has Panrico in Madrid, a situation that as the company announced a surplus of personal cause and the dismissal of 40 workers at the plant in Catalonia. The reaction of the direction of Panrico against the protests of the staff has been to deny the labor dispute, trying to look a sense of normalcy that does not exist, violating the agreements of the collective agreement and pursue the division between permanent workers and staff independent distributors as well as between different works of the mark.
Panrico Recall that has nine plants in Spain and that each negotiates a collective agreement itself, agreements involving a total of 4,500 permanent employees and 3,000 freelancers. In this sense, from the widows PSUC reject the claims of the direction of Panrico while we express our support and solidarity with all the facilities of the company because, ultimately, the struggle of factory workers of the Santa Perpetua Mogoda is in defense of their jobs and that is the struggle of all workers, peer of the factories of Madrid, Sevilla, Puente Genil (Córdoba), Sevilla, Murcia, Santiago de Compostela, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife . Panrico not get divide the working class.
Also, from the widows PSUC condemn the disproportionate policing of the Catalan police this week against Panrico workers in the warehouse at Cornell and the abuse of an employee for one of the vans in the company. On the other hand, also in Barcelona was a strong intervention of the regional police force that left many injured workers and union representatives and bruises, including our comrades Miguel Angel Domínguez, Secretary General of the Federation Agrifood CCOO-Catalonia Pedro Izquierdo, a spokesman for CCOO in Panrico Works Committee.
Viu PSUC
Since we expect a solution soon Panrico labor dispute. We urge the public administration and the Government to intercede on behalf of workers and requires the management of the company to fulfill its own commitments, ensuring compliance with the collective agreement on salary, production volumes and the plan investment for the plant in Santa Perpetua de Mogoda
