The yellow jackets in the colors of South union

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.
