Peruvian social networks are buzzing with talk about the temporary closing of one of the Ripley stores from the Chilean department store chain Grupo Ripley Corp. S.A. Although the closing of the store is officially in accordance with the lack of a security certificate issued by the Civil Defense, it has come about in the middle of a long conflict with its employees, who have been protesting for workers’ rights and a raise in salary similar to the Ripley employees in Chile.
S.A. Aunque oficialmente la medida obedece a la carencia de una certificación de seguridad expedida por Defensa Civil, ha tenido lugar en medio de un largo conflicto con sus trabajadores, quienes han venido realizando una serie de protestas solicitando aumento de sueldos y derechos sociales, a semejanza de los trabajadores de Ripley en Chile.
