Covid-19 crisis : On 3 August, the management of the food manufacturing group Danone and the international trade-union federation IUF committed to opening negotiations on measures to support workers and mitigate potentially negative employment consequences emerging during and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. The joint declaration (http://pre2020.iuf.org/w/sites/default/files/IUFDanoneCommonStatementeng.pdf) recognises that any future agreement will need to focus on identifying and protecting the most vulnerable workers. It will also have to give priority to upskilling programmes that provide employees with new skills to facilitate internal repositioning within Danone. During this time, which could last up to two years, Danone would guarantee that workers retain their Danone employment contracts, salaries and relevant benefits (see IUF press release http://pre2020.iuf.org/w/?q=node/7893).
