Spain: the El Corte Inglés retail group is resuming business by facilitating functional and geographical mobility

The CCOO, Fagsa, Fetico, and UGT unions have reached an agreement with management for the El Corte Inglés group on the conditions for returning to work following the nationwide lockdown and the gradual reopening of the stores. Management is committed to maintaining employment and wages and to making additional effort towards employee work/life balance. In return, the employee representatives will accept a series of temporary measures ‘linked to the current situation’ to facilitate greater flexibility in terms of employees' working hours and potentially as regards employee functional (job role changes) and geographical mobility, even though the agreement already provides for non-situational and definitive mobility conditions in order to save jobs.
