Around 1,000 workers at Zara shops and other Inditex (BME:ITX) fashion brands had announced they would strike on Dec. 23 and Jan. 7 to demand higher wage increases after rejecting the company’s previous offer.
They had already gone on strike during the ‘Black Friday’ sales rush on Nov. 24-25.
Inditex has now agreed to pay 322 euros ($341.38) more per month to shop assistants who work at its 44 stores in A Coruña, where the fashion giant has its headquarters on the city’s outskirts, CIG union leader and Zara retail assistant Carmiña Naveiro said on Friday. Workers will also get a one-off bonus of 1,000 euros to be paid in February.
Inditex did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
CIG had pushed for a bigger pay rise after rejecting a hike of 200 euros in monthly salaries by 2024.
The company will start to pay the newly agreed wages in January, Naveiro said.
