Telepizza staff in Daganzo go on strike over dismissal of 90 employees

The standoff between Telepizza management and its workforce in Daganzo de Arriba now has a date and a form: three days of strike action that will set the pace at the factory on 6, 8, and 13 October. The reason is clear and direct: the company has proposed an ERE that threatens the jobs of 90 employees, a figure that shakes job security at one of the main production centres in the area.

The Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) has been the channel for workers’ discontent, as they see the improvements agreed in June now called into question. The union insists that the current situation is the result of a dynamic that has been building for some time and now directly clashes with agreements reached just a few months ago.

Among the main arguments behind the protest is concern that the very sections which achieved advances in working conditions are now among the most affected by the cuts. The workforce rejects any strategy that involves job losses, outsourcing of tasks, or the gradual dismantling of the productive activity that has historically characterised the Daganzo plant.

The works council is not just making complaints. It is calling for real alternatives to the ERE to be explored and is demanding investment in production and maintenance, backing modernisation and better organisation of work. According to union representatives, defending jobs means strengthening internal activity and avoiding job losses that would have a direct impact on the local economy.

The Telepizza factory in Daganzo de Arriba is not just a workplace: it is a key cog in the brand’s distribution network in the Comunidad de Madrid. Its activity has provided employment for generations of local residents and supported part of the municipality’s economic fabric. Decisions made here often resonate in other plants and affect both the daily lives of workers and the industrial pulse of the region. Madrid is already starting to move in that direction.
