“A long series of improvisations and headlong rushes” : in a letter sent internally, on February 8, to the employees of the mutual health center René-Laborie, the elected representatives of the social and economic committee (CSE) of the establishment do not have words harsh enough to qualify the management of their management, responsible, according to them, for his announced death.
Located in the heart of 2e Parisian arrondissement, this establishment, which mainly welcomes press and communication professionals, entered into suspension of payment on 1is FEBRUARY. In order to rule on the fate of this health center, managed by the mutual insurance company uMEn, a hearing in the court of law is scheduled for Thursday, February 9. A possible liquidation threatens to leave on the floor the one hundred and thirty-five employees of the center, frequented by around 75,000 people a year.
“It was a huge shock” : for this employee as for her colleagues, nothing, or almost, foreshadowed such a fiasco. On the site of the health center, the recruitment offers for positions of dentist, gynecologist, dermatology… have still not been withdrawn. “When the auditor triggered the alert on November 22, 2022, no one was really worried”vituperates this member of the CSE who, like the other employees questioned by The world, preferred to remain anonymous. Its patients pay the price for the difficulties experienced by the establishment: “As suppliers are no longer paid, I have patients who no longer receive their prostheses”.
Deficit of one to two million euros per year
« We were told that the mutual would participate in the filling of the deficits, that they would seek new partners. But they couldn’t find any “, laments one of his colleagues. In the eyes of elected staff, the beginning of the end dates back to the exit of the mutual uMEn from the bosom of the Audiens group, in 2017, for questions of governance.
According to union delegates, the care center then experienced, from the first year, a deficit of one to two million euros per year, for an annual turnover of around ten million. “In five years, we have had five directors. We have 34% turnover with us: that is to say if there are management problems”ironically the member of the CSE.
In bulk, the mail addressed to the staff by the elected officials of the CSE castigates purchases froms of “non-competitive or non-competitive suppliers “, of the “inappropriate recruitments”bonuses paid without real justification and a “lack of anticipation” concerning the management of the establishment. The center “continued his expensive lifestyle in hopes of finding partners… to no avail”. Asked, the management of the care center did not wish to speak.
