The deconfinement does not happen without a few eddies at the town hall of Montluçon. This Tuesday, elected CGT, FO and CFDT staff sent a letter to Frédéric Laporte asking for an “urgent interview”.
A “brake rather than an asset”?
“We have an administrative hierarchy, but what we want is to speak to our employer who is the mayor,” insists Patrick Légrésy, CGT representative.
Since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, unions have felt “completely sidelined. We have the feeling of being perceived as a brake rather than an asset, “adds Patrick Légrésy. To top it all off, according to Tarek Feriani of the CFDT:
