News memo
The French food company Danone agreed on 3 August 2020 to open negotiations with the IUF, the International Federation of Food Trade Unions, for 100,000 workers worldwide. The aim of this agreement is to provide social cushioning for the changes in the employment situation in individual countries or locations, e.g. through training measures. In a joint declaration, Danone undertakes to give priority to continued employment within the group and to make special efforts to help people with lower qualification and wage levels, women and people exposed to institutional racism and discrimination. The joint declaration applies not only to the third world countries but also to Bavaria, where the Rosenheim dairy plant (photo) with 160 employees is to be closed in July 2021. There were several short strikes there in September 2020.
