On July 19, the OGBL, the only union represented at BSH électroménagers S.A., and the staff delegation signed a social plan with the company’s management.
The management of BSH Electroménagers S.A. announced the definitive closure of the company on July 3. A first information meeting with the OGBL and the staff delegation took place on July 5, during which the management confirmed its intention to lay off around 45 employees as of September 1, 2023. This decision is completely incomprehensible to OGBL and its employees given the record results the company has achieved in recent years.
However, OGBL would like to emphasize that the negotiations on the redundancy plan took place in a constructive climate, with a common concern to find appropriate and socially acceptable solutions for the employees affected by this mass redundancy.
As a result, the OGBL and the staff delegation were able to obtain various accompanying measures in favor of the employees concerned, including in particular
In addition, the management of BSH Electroménagers S.A. has taken steps to ensure that its employees will be able to obtain re-employment assistance, which has been confirmed by a ministerial decree dated July 6, 2023. The management also undertook to apply for tax exemption for extra-legal compensation and to contact some of its partners with a view to redeploying or taking on redundant employees.
The OGBL regrets the decision to permanently close BSH Electroménagers S.A. and the loss of its highly committed employees’ representatives. Finally, OGBL remains fully engaged to support the employees throughout the implementation of this social plan.
