Overview

  • Employees arrived at the Temperley branch to find the shutters down with no prior notice and held a protest outside the store.
  • The Lomas de Zamora commerce workers’ union filed a complaint, and Buenos Aires province’s Labor Ministry is reported to be intervening.
  • Union chief Rubén Crosta alleges the company is preparing nationwide job cuts that could reach 300 and is demanding immediate reinstatements.
  • Frávega told BAE Negocios that the Temperley site had eight workers, six were reassigned and two left by mutual agreement, and cited low foot traffic and e‑commerce growth for the closure.
  • BAE Negocios also reported an earlier Pergamino shutdown and delegates’ claims of roughly 100 dismissals in November, with the chain’s store count now near 109.
