Garvey staff call
meeting to find out what is going on
Garvey is two months in arrears with staff pay and has
severe liquidity problems, so the unions have called meetings with the staff
and management of the four Nueva Rumasa bodegas
(Garvey, Zoilo Ruiz Mateos Teresa Rivero and Valdivia) for Friday as
they have had no news for months about what is going on with the receivership.
Workers’ representatives will seek an early meeting with the judge of the
mercantile court.
Valdivia is awaiting a judicial decision before being put up
for sale. Teresa Rivero – formerly CAYDSA – is in deadlock over the reduction
of staff. The management of the bodega hopes to revert to the pre-Nueva Rumasa
cooperative status as its sale was never properly finalised (paid for) by the
Ruiz Mateos family. These are the two smaller bodegas, going through an
abbreviated process.
The bigger two, Garvey and ZRM have seen swingeing staff
cuts – more than half at Garvey and over 20 at ZRM, and there has been little
management since the judge removed management authority from Angel de Cabo, the
actual owner of Nueva Rumasa. What with the liquidity situation, the bodegas
have had problems securing raw materials, and have been steadily losing customers.
