Strike paralyses world's largest Nutella plant in France
The sanctions came into force early on Monday.
The factory is responsible for around a quarter of Nutella's production. The news agency AFP reported, referring to the union, that of the four lines for the chocolate spread Nutella, only one was still in operation with 20 percent of its capacity.
The production of the chocolate bar Kinder Bueno has been stopped.
The union demands a pay rise - Ferrero's offer is too low. The company stressed that it had tried to hold talks for six days. These had been rejected by the union.
The plant belongs to the Italian confectionery group Ferrero. Already in February the production stopped there - at that time Ferrero spoke of quality problems./pog/DP/he (dpa)
