 Workers at CENCOSUD Group’s Paris Stores chain in Talca in southern Chile are on strike after management said it would slash salaries and has refused to consult with their union.

Workers with their union, new UNI Global Union member Federación Paris 1, have been on strike for the last 10 days because the company refuses to bargain with the union about a plan to establish a new salary system that will reduce wage levels from those in the current collective agreement.



The UNI-CENCOSUD Alliance in Chile will have an urgent meeting to deal with the problem.



Marcio Monzane, head of the commerce sector of UNI Americas, and Ruben Cortina, President of UNI Americas are in talks with CENCOSUD to restart negotiations immediately.
