The company Justo y Bueno is news for showing two raw faces of the same crisis. On the one hand, their bank accounts were subject to embargo, which is contrary to the insolvency law they used. On the other hand, its workers are protesting that they have not received wages and benefits for more than 45 days.
It is well known that the well-known chain of low-cost supermarkets is going through a financial crisis that has left them with little supply and empty shelves. For this reason, the Superintendency of Companies admitted it on January 18 of this year to Law 1116 for Business Reorganization.
The heads of the company said in a statement that, although they are working to get out of insolvency and consider themselves a viable company, their efforts are being hampered by seizure orders on their bank accounts.
The letter says that they are holding meetings with “creditors in order to report the state of operational recovery”, but the recovery is incompatible with the judicial suffocation to which they are subjected, so they ask for “the solidarity and support needed at this time when all cooperation is required to continue with salvage”.
The seizure of the accounts would be the explanation for the precarious situation that Justo y Bueno's payroll is facing. Sintramer J&B, the union association that brings together the chain's workers, published a statement on Tuesday denouncing the non-payment of their wages plus legal benefits.
“As the company's immense commercial portfolio has not had a positive solution, they now use the income of workers regardless of the fact that it is a constitutional duty of the first order to protect work and family,” the letter says.
The workers' organization also points out that the company benefited from financial aid from the Formal Employment Support Program (PAEF), but that such aid is denied to employees.
The statement is accompanied by a series of protests in the chain's stores, accompanied by signs with the title “since February we have not received a salary”.
Others have gone further and have narrated through their social networks that they have been denied the provision of health services to their relatives because Justo y Bueno also stopped paying unemployment, ARL, EPS, compensation funds and settlements.
