Striking workers at the world's largest Nutella factory are shutting down production lines and preventing trucks from entering or leaving the plant.
Some 160 employees have been on strike over pay since May 28 at the factory in northern France, which owned by Italian confectionary company Ferrero. Workers are asking for a pay increase of 4.5% and a bonus of €900 , according to Agence France-Presse . The news agency reports that management have offered raises of only 0.4%.
Union representatives told AFP that only one of the plant's four Nutella production lines was still operational and only at a fifth of its usual capacity. Production of some other products have stopped entirely.A Ferrero spokesperson told CNN that because one production line continues to function and the factory has reserve stock, there are no current issues concerning Nutella supply.
A union official told the news agency that the penalties constituted"an unacceptable violation of the right to strike."This story was first published on CNN,"
