The Management of the Tupperware factory in Thebes is being sued by GSEE, stating that “under the pretext of high labor costs, he is locking up the only factory he has in our country that is operating since 1967». About 150 workers will be out of a job.

According to her statement, “In a surprise move, the management of the factory announced the decision of the multinational company, inviting the workers to sign voluntary resignations, receiving a little more money than the legal compensations, in order to complete the lockout by mid-April without running afoul of the law that provides for a certain percentage layoffs per month.

“With this decision, approximately 150 workers lose their jobs with all that this entails for them and their families, he adds. In an area affected by unemployment, given the fact that every little while an industrial unit closes, the closing of the Tupperware factory will intensify the problem, since a job in the area seems like an illusory dream”.

In conclusion, the GSEE states that it “stands by the workers of the Tupperware factory” and calls on the company to withdraw the decision.
