Now that Clarebout Potatoes, with a branch in Nieuwkerke in Heuvelland, has been effectively taken over by the American Simplot, the staff will still receive a bonus. The employees went on strike for this for ten days at the end of October. In concrete terms, the 3,000 employees will receive a net deposit of 500 euros. From 10 years of career this becomes 750 euros and from 20 years 1,000 euros.
