Answer
How many workers are affected by the closing dairy in Palma?
The plant has only 14 employment contracts left, far fewer than in earlier decades when it had around 220 employees. Workers are being offered positions elsewhere in the same corporation, but that does not replace the local jobs and business activity lost on Mallorca. The impact also reaches suppliers and service companies around the plant.
