After three years of negotiations, EFFAT is pleased to announce the signature of the Ardo European Works Councils Agreement.
Ardo is a family owned Belgian Group and a worldwide player of fresh frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit. Ardo has production, packing & distribution sites located in 8 European countries (Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Austria, the UK and the Netherlands).
Enrico Somaglia, EFFAT expert responsible for the EWC negotiations commenting on the newly signed agreement: “We consider this new agreement as the foundation of a positive and constructive cooperation between EFFAT and Ardo Senior Management. It was a pleasure to assist the members of the special negotiating body in this journey and I am confident this European representative body will be an important asset and an added value for the Company as a whole”.
Among other relevant provisions, the Agreement secures the rights and prerogatives of the UK representatives also after Brexit.
The first EWC meeting will take place immediately after the summer break.
