Since this Wednesday morning access to the Carrefour hypermarket of Grand Littoral in Marseille (15th) has been blocked by demonstrators. Customers cannot enter the store. The protest movement led by a CGT-CFDT inter-union began yesterday Tuesday.
The unions mobilized denounce working conditions and moral harassment. Strikers have spent the night there and are preventing deliveries. This Tuesday noon the accesses to the hypermarket are also blocked, caddys are arranged to prevent the passage at the entrance of the store on the ground floor. The strikers explain the reasons for their strike to customers who must turn around.
Unions announce 130 strikers out of 442 employees. They denounce the precariousness of about thirty jobs on the spot and a “repressive management and coping”. The decrease in the number of employees in the hypermarket is also pointed out by the unions, which evoke a drop from 544 employees to 442 in the space of 18 months “to do the same work”.
We are set goals to be achieved without any means – Smaïl Ait Atman, CFDT delegate at Carrefour Grand Littoral
