Corticeira fined reacts with the dismissal of a worker

A This measure comes after the Union of Corticeiros do Norte (SOCN) revealed that the company Fernando Cortiças SA was valued at 31 000 euros by ACT following one of the many inspections related to the situation of Cristina Marques -, according to this union structure, will be "punished" for "unproductive work", "humiliating" and "psychological torture" since September, after the court had forced the company to reinstate it in the frames.

SOCN now reports: "On the same day, the worker came back to her usual" punishment "- loading and unloading the same bags of corks on a single pallet for nine hours – and not satisfied, the employer l & rsquo; informed today the same thing is suspended as a preventive for the organization of a disciplinary procedure aimed at dismissal with just cause. "

For the Union, this means that since the "dismissal for dismissal – that the court ruled illegal", there has now been a dismissal motivated by a disciplinary measure ".

Contacted by Lusa, the administration of Fernando Couto sent clarifications to the situation to the lawyer Nuno Cáceres, who emphasizes that today only takes responsibility for the process, but explains that the suspension of the worker has for object to allow "to conduct an investigation of the fabricated facts that she has proclaimed publicly".

There is no time limit for carrying out this disciplinary procedure, but since "the employee will continue to be paid during his suspension", the lawyer recognizes that it is in the interest of the company "to close the deal as soon as possible ".

Nuno Cáceres expects that "a series of lies spread by the employee are spreading and are damaging to the work environment and the reputation of the company – which, until now , it is certain, did not know how to defend himself and now decided that it was time to adopt another position, even to be able to appeal correctly the fine imposed on ACT.
