"Nestlé sales force workers across Russia confined to rooms and compelled to resign employment," 10 July 2019

...On May 14 all Nestlé Russia sales force employees...were invited to the company's regional centers in 10 cities across Russia under the pretext of "discussing business results".

The doors of the halls...were closed and security guards were posted at the exits. Employees were told to sign a notice of staff reduction or resign immediately "by agreement of the parties". They were not allowed to leave the room...until signing. Phone calls, messaging and photos were prohibited. An emergency ambulance was in constant attendance at the entrance of each center...

...The [Sales Force Employees' Union]...is demanding that the company immediately and unconditionally cancel all actions carried out in connection with the restructuring, which rests on forced resignations. Signatures...must be considered null and void and the company must issue a formal apology and enter into...bargaining with the union...
