After several days of strike, Belgian supermarkets Lidl sell off a large part of their food, whose expiry date is approaching.
Meat, fish, vegetables, fresh produce: many perishable foodstuffs are sold at the maximum price of 1 euro in order to avoid food waste.
Receipt in hand, a customer explained to our colleagues at Sudinfo that he had only spent 5.70 euros for his well-filled basket.
"I bought 4 kg of super mussels, 1 kg of turkey strips, 1 kg of pita meat, 1 kg of minced chicken, 1 kg of gyros, 2 pork medallions and herring fillets" he said detailed.
50% of stores closed
Some of the staff of the German brand's supermarkets went on strike in Belgium on October 13 to protest against the workload.
By the following Saturday, 50% of the stores remained closed.
A social consultation, launched on October 18, led to the signing, the next day, of a preliminary agreement between the unions and management.
The latter should lead to a new collective agreement.
A negotiation schedule has also been established in order to continue discussions around working time, said our colleagues from
