This message is about the proposed reorganization at Shell Global Solutions International, specifically at the PTX and PTC units. We have chosen to send this news item to all our members at Shell. If you don't work for PTX or PTC, you can read what's going on below.
The proposed reorganization
Shell has De Unie and its fellow unions were informed about the proposed decision to implement a reorganization at both PTX and PTC.
An employer is obliged to notify trade unions of a reorganization if the employer wants to eliminate 20 or more jobs. The jobs that will be eliminated - with the exception of 1 position at PTC - all concern positions that fall outside the collective labor agreement.
Het proces
The employer told us that the proposed reorganization was shared with the employees in March 2024. The requests for advice for the two reorganizations are submitted to the works council for advice.
The works council assesses the usefulness and necessity of the reorganization. Shell expects the Works Council to issue its advice on both requests for advice by April 15, 2024 at the latest.
If this is a positive advice, Shell will make its intended decision a final decision shortly afterwards. For the further process, this means that where a position does not disappear, but fewer employees are needed for that position, Shell will apply the reflection principle. Reflection is done according to a fixed set of rules, which are determined by UWV.
The redundancy of the affected employees will then take effect on May 1, 2024. The affected employees are the employees who are reflected and the employees whose positions will be eliminated in any case according to the reorganization.
From May 1, Shell will follow the process as described in its National Redundancy Scheme (LOR).
Affected?
It is always annoying when you are told that you will be made redundant. If all goes well, Shell will tell the employee what exactly this means. But we can imagine that you would prefer to discuss the questions with another party.
In short, you can contact our Service Center with your questions and requests regarding the reorganization sc@unie.nl or via 0345-851 851.
