According to both committees, the company carried out three dismissals within one week last October. One was disciplinary and affected a worker from the group known as Non Stop, while the other two involved two employees in the Purchasing department, which is part of the Technical and Administrative staff group.
COMMITTEES QUESTION USE OF CAMERAS AND GROUNDS FOR DISMISSALS
In the case of the Non Stop employee, the workers’ representatives claim that the company used surveillance cameras to monitor the worker for months. The committees consider this use unlawful and reject the protocol presented by the company regarding the devices, saying they were not allowed to participate in its preparation.
Regarding the two Purchasing employees, the representatives say the company cited organizational reasons and an efficiency plan. However, they maintain that they are unaware of the plan because it was neither communicated nor explained to them, and therefore question the grounds given for terminating both contracts.
The committees at both sites argue that the company could have offered alternatives to the dismissals and say they requested a meeting to learn the reasons behind the decisions. According to their complaints, management refused to address the request, prompting Thursday’s mobilization.
