New failure of discussions at Mestdagh: the unions call for a strike, at least 45 Intermarché stores closed

And then, the trade unions demand that management offers alternative solutions to workers who no longer want to engage with Intermarché. But there, it is an end of inadmissibility according to the unions who are worried: “We don’t know what sauce the employees are going to be eaten with” and ask management “to commit and hire the boss who will take over the staff”.

On the management side, there is astonishment and incomprehension. She says she answers all questions constructively. Agree to voluntary departures, agree to keep the rights of workers, agree to not lay off anyone and not to close any stores. Management sees in this request a desire to “to rot” the situation and prepare for future social elections.
