Collaboration negotiations of Fazer Ravintolat Oy have ended
Fazer’s collaboration negotiations required by the co-operation act of Finnish law regarding the possible temporary lay-off of all Fazer Ravintolat Oy’s employees have ended.
Remote working and movement restrictions following authorities’ orders have had a significant impact on the Fazer Retail Business Area (Fazer Cafés and Gateau bakery shops). The number of customers has goon down markedly. Guided tours at the Fazer Experience visitor centre in Vantaa, Finland were paused already two weeks ago, and the whole centre was closed on 25 March 2020.
Fazer Retail is prepared to close all its cafés and restaurants and to keep them shut for the duration required by the authorities. According to the Finnish Government’s current proposal, this will be until the end of May. The Fazer Experience visitor centre will also remain closed as long as the authorities require which, according to the Finnish Government’s current proposal, is until the end of May.
The negotiations involve the entire staff of Fazer Ravintolat Oy, around 400 people in Finland. Temporary lay-offs will be implemented for a maximum of 90 days during 2020, depending on the development of the situation.
Fazer will support in all possible ways those who will be temporarily laid off and will attempt to offer them work within other Fazer units, when possible.
