Two dozen people
distributed leaflets at the entrance of the Leclerc hypermarket on Saturday
morning. They denounce the harassment allegedly suffered several employees and
former employees every day.
Saturday morning
about 10 am a group of 20 to 25 people between the Leclerc store where hundreds
of people are shopping. Venues show, they leave the yellow fluorescent reflective
jackets in the colors of South union then distribute leaflets “and
inform customers of the situation in which employees work," said Samuel,
secretary of the Inter Trade Union Solidarity South. Protesters denounce acts
of harassment allegedly suffered "many employees and former employees from
management and some managers."
South Solidarity
The group is
mainly composed of South Solidarity trade unionists from Maubeuge, Jeumont.
Some former employees wear safety vests are also present. Samuel cautions that
"ten complaints were filed harassment and two cases to industrial tribunals.”
"I left the
store in August 2015, said Olivier. I became depressed because of disparaging
thoughts. I was in the book department; once elected to the union, I was forced
to change..."
Margot has worked
"for 15 days with my mother. She got sick. She was fired for misconduct
because the director invented she had insulted him."
A group of 5
employees calls us to defend the management. "We are shocked to see an
event like this on our workplace, said the head of the radius fruits and
vegetables Laurent. In this group there are people who have worked in this
store 15 days, no more. We decided not to respond to this; it is estimated that
if the worry is before the tribunal that it is set and not here." The
police in reflective vest said.
An anonymous call
Protesters left
around 11:45 am.
Yesterday
afternoon we were contacted by telephone by someone claiming to work "for
the Leclerc press office." According to this man, who wished to remain
anonymous, the company did not receive any notification of complaint for
harassment.
