Trade union OGBL and workers representatives at the bankrupt FCPE group, which ran shops that suddenly closed their doors, have started to untie the puzzle of the complex web of management structures of the group. Seventeen companies running around 20 stores are tied to FCPE. The OGBL was not able to give an exact number of employees affected by the closures, though reports indicate that at least 70 members of staff are affected. Employees had not been paid their wages for August and the group had not paid social contributions for its employees for some time.
