Cuts due to the coronavirus begin to reach public companies when it is a month of alarm and economic paralysis.

The Paradores group yesterday informed its employees that it will reduce the salary of its more than 4,000 employees in the face of the drastic stoppage in billing caused by the closure of its establishments.

The measure consists of the suppression of the production premium charged by the workforce and which, according to union sources, ranges between 250 and 800 euros depending on the position and the hostel. This will mean, according to a statement sent by Csif to its affiliates, an adjustment of up to 50% in the remuneration of some employees.

The management of Paradores, headed by the former deputy and former secretary of the Organization of the PSOE, Óscar López , proposes as an alternative to its employees to advance their vacations to collect their wages in full. The company argues that the collection of the premium is linked to the group's turnover, which has been reduced to zero in recent weeks by the effects of the pandemic.

Until now, the group has tried not to carry out any type of adjustment despite the fact that its hotels have been closed since March 16. The bulk of the workforce has since remained at home without working, consuming the excess hours spent last year and taking advantage of the recoverable paid leave approved by the Government between March 30 and April 9.
