Scandal: Zara is supposed to get rid of mothers and the sick!

12 out of 40 sufferers are mothers

Zara has offered severance agreements to numerous employees - apparently especially mothers and employees who have been ill for a long time. The news magazine Der Spiegel reports in its current issue.

The management of Zara speaks of individual cases and employees with an "unusually high work absence without clear reason." But in Munich alone 27 out of 480 employees were affected.

Separation talks have apparently also taken place in other cities. The works council speaks of a total of more than 40 employees, who were advised to leave the company for a severance pay. At least twelve of them were mothers.



Who are trying to get rid of mommies?

An employee from Stuttgart is quoted as saying: "Who are trying to get rid of mommies and older employees? She herself has two small children, but have so far found only a daycare place despite a long search. For this reason, she has started negotiations with the management about a part-time job. Without success. Instead, she was asked on the phone if she had ever considered a cancellation agreement. have.

The mirror points out that the Spanish fashion chain relies on employees who can work until 8 or 9 pm. With such working hours, especially mothers have difficulties? it is still mostly the women who work shorter for the children, while the fathers continue to work full-time.



The approach of the management ensures insecurity and displeasure in the workforce. According to Spiegel, first employees who went to court to argue for obtaining their job or a higher severance pay were right. This should encourage other concerned colleagues to do the same.
