As of August 11, El Corte Inglés will modify the discount system that its more than 100,000 employees benefit from when buying in company stores, reducing discounts in four areas with a lower commercial margin and eliminating them in the ‘opportunity centers’ ‘.
The workers will maintain the 10% discounts on food and 15% in the rest of the departments, except in fashion firms (outside the distribution group), where they have been reduced to 10%, and in telephone operators, tires and personal computers, in which they have been lowered to 5%.
The company chaired by Isidoro Álvarez has agreed to this modification of the agreement with the inter-centre committee, with the favorable vote of the Fetico and Fasga unions, the abstention of the UGT and the rejection of the CCOO, they informed Europa Press in union sources.
El Corte Inglés proposed this measure by defending that the discount system has not been adapted to the adjustment of prices and commercial margins in some of the divisions in which they are applied.
