8-day strike ends and Bimbo restarts

Bimbo’s operations restarted this Friday, after more than eight days of paralysis due to the strike initiated by the Industrial Union of Flour and Allied Workers (SITHA) that demanded salary increases.

In a statement, the Bimbo company, which has 80% of the industrial sliced ​​bread market in Panama, reported that they reached an agreement with the Union on the points of the Collective Agreement that will govern the next three years.

“We have maintained respect for the rights of our collaborators as a priority in all these years of operation in the country, a principle that has prevailed in each collective bargaining. We are convinced that constructive and reasoned dialogue is our pillar for managing healthy labor relations with all our staff”, said the company.

With the agreement, they resumed activity throughout the country. The company serves 12,000 customers between supermarket chains, distributors, and grocery stores.
