Works Councils in Europe of chemical/foods conglomerate Unilever will handbill company plants in Germany and The Netherlands on the first of December.
The actions, along with press attention and mass meetings, are in protest to Unilever’s decision to outsource 2,500 finance and shared services jobs to outside companies.
The December date was chosen because it is then that the company will announce to workers outsourcing of human resource and shared services jobs to employment agency Accenture, and finance jobs to IBM.
Unilever sites most heavily affected will be Rotterdam and Hamburg.
