“Mind-blowing”
Rather discreet despite its legal “victory”, and relayed until then by the departmental union of Seine-Maritime then the central and federal authorities, the CGT union of Sandouville came out of the woods in order to speak again, by leaflet, digital version, for lack of being able to distribute it to the grid of a factory which he, by instituting this procedure, has locked out. “It is amazing that our union is being lambasted by different union and political“ actors ”in our country. It was Renault who was sentenced by a judge for not respecting the law (…) so that no employee was exposed to any danger “.

“Inevitably a significant impact on the safety of employees”
For the CGT union, which again became the first organization at the Sandouville factory in 2018 (3rd among all establishments in France) : “It was obvious that the management wanted to force through all the modifications made to restart in full containment and which will necessarily have a significant impact (…) for the safety of employees. “ And to add: “If management had taken the time during confinement to comply with the law as the Labor Inspectorate reminded him many times, the factory would have restarted, like everyone else, on May 11 2020. “

“Inconsistency”, “dismal”, “dialogue”
Asked, the site management did not wish to speak. Others, on the other hand, on the local political scene, take their turn to speak. Former activist of the CGT (2008-2014) Nicolas Goury, deputy departmental delegate of the National Gathering shoots “with red balls” on the union organization as a whole, stressing
“The inconsistency of his choices”. For Marine Le Pen’s party delegate:
“A happy employee is an enemy of the CGT since he no longer needs the union to obtain decent living conditions (…) Is this not the unspoken aim of a Marxist union : precipitate the social misery of the French to try to exist? “ Above, Nicolas Goury accuses the CGT as the PCF of
“Feed on social misery to prosper”.
“Failure of social dialogue”
Communist deputy for the 8th district (Le Havre, Gonfreville-l’Orcher) Jean-Paul Lecoq defends the union referring to their own
“Irresponsibility” the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire as well as the president of the agglomeration of Le Havre, Jean-Baptiste Gastinne, accusing them of
“Disregard the rights of employees. It’s a shame “. For the deputy, also a candidate for the municipal election of Le Havre, the court decision rendered on May 7, 2020 is the consequence of a
“Failure of social dialogue”. He calls for the resumption of this dialogue
“And compliance with procedures, in particular for controlling joint bodies responsible for preventing occupational risks and safety at work. “

Another CSE as well as a CSSCT * are already scheduled in the coming days. As of yet, the appeal of the court decision has still not been filed by Renault management.
