Olymel to reduce activities at Vallée-Jonction plant

Record Staff

Citing an impass provoked by workers, Olymel management released a statement on Tuesday announcing the company’s intention to significantly reduce activities at its Vallée-Jonction hog slaughterhouse and cutting plant.
Olymel has made the decision to abolish the evening shift. This decision will come into effect at the end of the notice of termination period if no agreement is reached and accepted by the union members by Sunday evening (Aug. 29) at midnight. It will result in the loss of more than 500 positions, and four months’ notice of termination will be sent to the employees affected by this decision in accordance with Quebec labour standards.
