Return to Production: The Revival of Lácteos Vidal
Sourse: dairynews.today
Lácteos Vidal resumes operations after overcoming union disputes, with new employees and community backing.
The Argentine dairy company, Lácteos Vidal, has successfully restarted production following a significant conflict with the Atilra union, which involved plant blockades and legal battles. The family-run business, managed by Alejandra Bada Vázquez, stood firm against union pressure, leading to the dismissal of 26 workers after what was branded an illegal strike. The turning point came when Atilra blocked their Moctezuma plant in July 2022, demanding worker reclassification and salary increases.
Despite a court order to reinstate the dismissed employees, Lácteos Vidal opted to hire new workers, prioritizing a trustworthy workforce essential for food production. The company now processes about 150,000 liters of milk daily and is poised to resume exports. The incident has sparked discussions about union influence and the legal challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises.
Alejandra Bada Vázquez remains resilient, refusing to reinstate the workers involved in the blockade, highlighting the essential need for a reliable team as they move forward.
