Workers and union members at Granito company dismissed after staging a sit-in

Union leaders announced the continuation of a sit-in protest at the Horizon Investment and Industrial Development Company (Ceramica Granito). The original sit-in began on Thursday, 6 August 2020, to protest the administration’s disregard for union demands, including increased wages, larger meal allowance, and a fair distribution of surplus profits.
On 11 August 2020, the general manager of the company met with union leaders and expressed agreement to their demands, promising implementation by the beginning of January 2021. Immediately after this meeting and the union’s announcement of the end of the sit-in, the company dismissed several key union leaders and protesting workers.
Granito workers have responded with a continuance of industrial action.
