Yolanda Díaz calls Telefonica's ERE 'rude', which already affects 5,700 people
The Vice President formally denies in a letter to a Sepi that a profit company and the state participated in it, rejects this dimension
This Tuesday, Telefónica will end communication with the number of people affected by the employment document (ERE) with the seven companies of the group ... which it intends to lay off.Absent Telefónica SA's latest meeting with the operator's corporate center, which began at 4 p.m., departures rose by 373 this morning to 5,319 from those completed yesterday for a total of 5,692.Public participation The "obscene" number of layoffs for the company, as denounced by Yolanda Diaz, the second vice president and secretary of labor, before Sepi (the national association of industrial participation).
Telefónica has run dozens of EREs since 2000, but this is the first time Mark Murtra has led the operator - a member of the Catalan Socialist Party and elected to the seat by Monclova a year ago - and the first time the state has bought 10% of the billion-euro stake since becoming the main shareholder again.And that marks the difference between the last round of mass layoffs and this round of mass layoffs, with terms expected to be finalized before the end of the year.The government has been very critical of ERE in large companies and the second vice president has always been at the forefront of this fight.A few months ago, Díaz suggested that ERE could be banned in for-profit companies.
In this context continues for entered from the arrended ministry that our hours ago sent a letter to the President of Sephi, Belén Guarded and Public possessions "decides to celebrine more than 5,000 people.How well the unemployment conditions are in ERE. "Díaz has cleared that his work is" known "and that a company that" now possessions of public property.
Since 2000
45,000 people were laid to rest
On the phone for the last 25 years.Currently, the operator's employees in Spain consist of 25,000 people.
The only government test so far has been conducted by Communications Minister óscar López, who defended the agreement process a few days ago.
Sebi believes in consensus
In a press release, they said the newspaper "needs online maintenance" with these newspapers.
Discussions with trade unions, which will continue throughout December, are likely to reduce the figure today of 5,700 affected, but this figure shows that the first Ere of Murtra will be very similar to the last one signed by the operator in 2023, which ended with the last departures early in 2024. At that time the operator began by offering5,10,03,000,000,000,000,0000000000000,000,00000000000000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.Discussions and the same can happen this time.This is the ninth Ere hosted by Telefónica in the last 25 years, when over 45,000 people have been made redundant.
380,000 euros per laid-off worker
The ERE at Telefónica are not usually a traumatic process for employees.What's more, in the last mass layoffs closed in 2024, more voluntary resignation requests were accepted than exit positions available.The conditions are negotiated with the unions and in the last ERE the dismissed workers received an average of 380,000 euros, which meant a cost for the operator of more than 1.3 billion euros (before taxes).
However, it is surprising that the government is satisfied that a company in which it is the main shareholder decides to lay off more than 5,000 workers over the age of 55 while it tries to encourage various measures such as increased payments in cash checks in retirement and active retirement reforms such as delaying the retirement age.
The second round of negotiations at Telefonica this Tuesday included 140 layoff proposals at Telefonica's Global Solutions division, 22% of its workforce, and 233 layoffs at Telefonica Innovation Digital, 23% of the region's total workforce.The adjustment process is unfolding slowly as the company approaches the seven affected subsidiaries in separate meetings, which means the terms agreed to for the departures may differ.
