Workers have brought the world's biggest Nutella factory to a near-standstill in a showdown over salary negotiations.
No more Nutella?! French workers are threatening as much, bringing the world's biggest Nutella factory to a near-standstill in a showdown over salary negotiations.
The plant produces a staggering 600,000 jars of the chocolate and hazelnut spread every day — a quarter of the world's output of a product cherished by children and adults alike. The prospect of fines didn't deter unions. Workers' Force says 160 of the factory's 350 workers are taking part in a walkout to demand 4.5% salary increases, one-time 900-euro bonuses and better working conditions.He said the company agreed to a 1.7% raise for the lowest paid workers, and one-time bonuses between zero and 400 euros, which unions say isn't enough given rising living costs.
