  • In Vallauris, the management of a supermarket would have initiated a dismissal procedure against an employee who would be accused of having walked off several days to protest against the pension reform, say the unions.
  • “I am not the executive [des magasins]. I asked. If it’s true, it’s not good, ”reacted Michel-Edouard Leclerc on Tuesday, on the set of BFM TV.
  • Officially, during the interview prior to her dismissal, organized on Monday when around sixty people were demonstrating in front of the hypermarket, Marine was accused of several other reasons which she partly disputes.

Michel-Edouard Leclerc himself judged that it was “not defensible”. AT Vallauris, between Nice and Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), the management of a supermarket would have initiated a procedure of dismissal against an employee who would be accused of having walked off several days to protest against the pension reform, say the unions.

“His only ”crime” is to have dared to use his right to strike”, write the CGT, the CFDT, the FSU and Solidaires 06 in a press release. The case, told on Monday by Release, went up to the ears of the president of the strategic committee of the centers E.Leclerc. “I am not the executive [des magasins]. I asked. If it’s true, it’s not good, ”he reacted on the set of BFM TV on Tuesday.

Work too slow and chatter, reproach him for the hyper

So what about it? Requested by 20 Minutes this Wednesday, the sign remained silent. Officially, during the interview prior to her dismissal, organized on Monday when around sixty people were demonstrating in front of the hypermarket, Marine (who prefers that her surname not be published) was notably criticized for “gossip “. On a permanent contract since January 2021, this versatile employee, responsible in particular for the books department, would also work “too slowly”. She would not have badged certain breaks. This is what would have earned him his conservatory layoff, since April 13. Apologies, sweeps the young woman of 23 years.

If she admits having already had warnings for “small delays” and problems concerning moments of rest “that she did not even take”, the young woman of 23 years is convinced that the reasons for her possible dismissal are all others. He would be accused of having walked out for six days, since January 19, against the pension reform. And maybe also once in September, for purchasing power.

“They flout the right to strike”

“I was the only one following the movement. And I’m the only one who got kicked out. It’s unfair dismissal, she decides, on the phone with 20 Minutes. They flout the right to strike. It’s not legal to do that. They are not within their rights. And you have to score. “With her spouse Jordan Mandelli, SUD-Rail union official, they will “obviously go to the Prud’hommes if necessary”.

“Firing someone for the reasons given would be simply mind-boggling. He is clearly made to pay for having wanted to participate in the strike, abounds the latter. The HRD also told him: ”we are here to work”. And he even repeated it on Monday in front of the people who demonstrated. According to him, activism would be “very frowned upon in mass distribution”, where “everything is done to exclude employees who are too committed”.

The decision of the E.Leclerc center in Vallauris could fall as early as this Thursday. Marine and her companion are hanging on a call from the director. In the meantime, the young woman remains mobilized against the reform. “I participated in the casserole on Monday, I did a tow this Wednesday morning. And I will go to the next demonstrations. No matter what,” she said.
