A complicated economic situation
The Catalan company Mr. Wonderful, known for its motivational and positive phrases, is facing a complicated financial situation. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the company has experienced viability issues
The management of the company has sent a letter to the workforce to inform them of the situation. According to this letter, the economic and financial situation of the company is very negative, and this has forced it to take measures to reduce the number of workers
The ERO and dismissals
As part of these measures, an ERO has been proposed to lay off a quarter of the company’s workers, most of them in Barcelona. In addition, it is planned to adjust the network of stores
The ERO will directly affect five points of sale in Madrid, Malaga, Seville, Toledo and Granada, of which only one will remain. In addition, it is planned to lay off 25% of the workers at the headquarters in Barcelona
The problem of the works committee
One of the problems that has been raised is the lack of a works committee. Although the Workers’ Statute recognizes this right from 50 workers, the company Mr. Wonderful currently has 155 employees and does not have this representative body
conclusion
In short, the company Mr. Wonderful is facing a complicated economic situation and has taken the decision to raise an ERO to lay off some of the workers. However, it should be noted that the company has sent a letter to the workforce informing them of the situation and looking for solutions to adjust to the circumstances
