“No comment !” exclaims a worker before pushing the turnstile of the factory PSA de Valenciennes when asked what he thinks of the conventional collective break. Others “prefer not to talk about it” or “not to be filmed” but recognize a lot about discussing it with colleagues. Those who agree to answer a few questions are not really excited by the prospect of collective collective rupture.
PSA employees worriedFastly, unions are singled out. They all signed the agreement with the direct, with the exception of the CGT. “Unions open wide the door to employers to dismiss and harass,” despaired a man in his forties, just before taking his job. Eric Denaene, FO FO Manager PSA Valenciennes justifies the decision of his union recalling that this measure “will allow volunteers to leave, those who have a business project or who wish to go to work elsewhere”.
Mixed with humor and anger, an employee replies simply that she thanks “all those who voted Macron”. Indeed, this collective conventional break is made possible more to the reform of the labor code.
1300 employees concerned, 60 in the Hauts-de-France
In all, it concerns 1300 employees in France, about 60 in the Hauts-de-France. Three sites are concerned: Valenciennes, Douvrin and Hordain. Franck Terry, CGT manager of the Hordain site, considers that PSA, with its “4.5 billion profit in two and a half years and 3,600,000 vehicles sold worldwide in 2017”, should not appeal to this conventional break collective “but rather to hiring”.
“We are talking about 1,300 hires of permanent contracts and 1,300 departures as part of the conventional break but we must also count the 900 departures of the senior plan” adds the unionist who criticizes the company to weaken employment.
