Hostile actions, regressive reforms, job cuts, lack of support from the hierarchy… Labor inspection has been facing a series of attacks for several years aimed at delegitimizing its missions. The double murder, twenty years ago, with Sylvie Trémouille and Daniel Buffière, two managers, with a farmer, brutally emphasized this climate of extreme violence against those representatives promising respect for workers’ rights.
Gerard Filoche, trade union and labor inspector in practice at the material time, reported in the book We finish well… the job inspectors, the incident, a source of trauma still alive among his colleagues.
As an iconic image of this group of civil servants, he returns here to the biased media and political manipulation that relegated this double murder to the status of a news item, symbolic of a long process of unraveling the Code of Labor.
About social recovery launched by employers in response to the 35-hour law, attacks against workers’ representative organizations, and the movement that the law of El Khomrilabor inspectors, the last bulwarks against these attacks, have also become the main targets.
This year marks twenty years since Sylvie Trémouille and Daniel Buffière were murdered by a farmer in Dordogne. How was the event viewed at the time?
As luck would have it, I was one of the first to hear about it from a friend whose husband was an agricultural machinery repairer in Saussignac (Dordogne, Editor’s note), has been a direct witness to the double murder.
Sylvie Trémouille and Daniel Buffière came for a second check related to the employment of an agricultural operator of undocumented foreign workers. He shot Daniel first at point blank range before shouldering and aiming at a distance behind Sylvie who was trying to escape. After that I went there to write my book.
