Carnes Pampeanas plant applies wage cuts and suspensions, and HV enters bankruptcy protection

Just two months after becoming the largest slaughter group in the country, the Lequio group will implement rotating suspensions with reduced working hours and wage cuts at Carnes Pampeanas, the largest meatpacking plant in the province of La Pampa, according to provincial media. This is an emergency agreement signed with the union and endorsed by the provincial Labor Department to avoid layoffs. Workers will receive 40% of their salary as remunerative pay and the rest as a non-salary payment, with reduced working hours until the end of September, El Diario de La Pampa reported.
