The auction company organizing the liquidation is looking at how to better manage the queues and ensure security for the next few days.

Dn the majority of Brantano stores, the first day of liquidation on Saturday went well, the auction company Moyersoen, which is organizing the liquidation, said on Sunday. “Only four stores are affected by a police intervention or a closure,” said Jeroen Van Daele, of the auction house. “There were no problems in the other 60 or so. “
The company is examining on Sunday morning how to better manage queues and ensure security in the coming days. In particular, additional security guards and personnel are envisaged.

On Saturday, the unions sharply criticized the curators and the auction company. According to them, Moyersoen would have maximized its profits by not taking sufficient measures to manage a significant influx, in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic. Unions believe it was predictable that cuts of 75% would attract a lot of people.
“We had indeed anticipated a slightly lower participation, but this is certainly not the first time that we have made such discounts,” said Jeroen Van Daele, for whom the attitude of the unions is “very negative”. “In 99% of cases, the workers are very satisfied. The staff were happy to be able to work: we received a lot of messages and photos, until 10 in the evening. “
The liquidation will continue from Monday, probably for several more weeks. “The stock is still large, maybe we could open more stores in the next few days and put even more Brantano staff to work. Just to be clear: they will be employed by us on temporary contracts. “
The Christian union ACV Puls / CNE on Saturday described the working conditions as “scandalous” and demanded measures. “The shops can no longer be opened under the current circumstances,” trade unionist Sven De Scheemaeker said.
