This move concerns the centers located on the sites of Brussels, Rhisnes and Jupille, with therefore significant consequences for the workers of the Red Cross.

This delegate is also deputy director of the Fraipont center in the Liège region, points out the policy of the new management: “The new managing director comes from Engie. The new HR director (human resources, editor’s note) comes from the pharmaceutical industry. These are sectors that are not normally intended to deal with people but rather with money. […] A lot is done in studies of figures and comparisons of tables, of the number of missions carried out… Here, I mix asylum and emergency services but there are not only figures to align on a piece of paper. We deal with human beings first and foremost.“
In the meantime the pressure is increasing on the workers. In addition to the increasing burn-outs and voluntary departures, more than 29 people were made redundant between October last year and March 3 alone, according to the union.
For its part, the management of the Red Cross refused our request for an interview. It limits itself to publishing a press release justifying the move. She also says that well-being at work is one of her priorities. A meeting should take place between union and management this Monday noon.
