This Wednesday, Telefónica presented its exit proposal for the 3,959 workers who will finally be affected by the ERE that is being negotiated with the unions.
As reported by UGT, the company has agreed to reduce the initial impact, from 5,200 jobs to 3,959 departures, but with economic conditions that the union “flatly rejects.”
Specifically, those born in 1968, that is, employees aged 55, will be able to benefit from the ERE in exchange for receiving 60% of the regulatory salary until the age of 63 and 30% until the age of 65.
From that age onwards, conditions worsen since, according to the unions, those over that age had the possibility of signing up to previous incentivized exit plans, therefore the company calculates compensation to match what they would have received. in case you had left the company at that time. It is a way to discourage remaining at Telefónica after a mass exit process.
Based on this criterion, those born in 1967, 1966 or 1965 (ages 56, 57 and 58 respectively) would receive up to 55% of the regulatory salary until they turn 63 and 30% until they are 65.
While for those who are 59 years old or older, the exit conditions set have been 50% of the regulatory salary until age 63 and 30% until age 65.
For all of them, the company undertakes to pay business contributions to Social Security until the age of 63, a basic health policy until the age of 61 and risk insurance also until the age of 61.
“These figures are nonsense and are very far from any type of agreement in line with previous exits,” say UGT sources who insist that “there will be no agreement like this.”
The union insists on demanding that the ERE and the collective agreement be negotiated jointly and an agreement be guaranteed in which the III agreement “guarantees the stability and rights of workers” at Telefónica. The parties will meet again tomorrow Thursday to continue negotiating.
