Uruguay: Minas brewery to reopen after a two months closure
Representatives of Uruguay’s Ministry of Labor, the Fábricas Nacionales de Cerveza (FNC) company and the union managed to sign a preliminary agreement that allows the reopening of the Minas brewing plant starting in August, FreshlyBottled.com reported on July 3.
In recent days, the government had outlined a proposal that was accepted by the company and workers.
Almost two months have passed since the company announced the closure of the Minas plant, which had been slowed down by a maintenance stoppage since May.
With the new plan proposed by the government, 60 percent of the workforce will resume activity when the plant reopens in the coming months.
