Albert Heijn said it will push ahead with plans to restructure its distribution business, including the introduction of mechanised processes. However, the group did guarantee the jobs of permanent employees for two years. The number of temporary workers will be gradually reduced, Albert Heijn added.
The retailer hopes that the offer will bring to an end ongoing negotiations with unions and called on its workers to accept the offer.
Union officials were not available for comment at time of press.
