The Renault site in Choisy-le-Roi was shut down on Tuesday. Since 6 am, "more than 200 employees", out of the 262 in the factory in total, have "mobilized to save their jobs," said Brahim Hachouche, of the FO union. The site, which specializes in the renovation and reconditioning of engines and gearboxes, is the first and for the moment the only one whose final closure has been announced for 2022. Its activity must be transferred to the Flins site (Yvelines).
"We are waiting for someone from central management who must explain to us," added Brahim Hachouche, adding that the strike was "renewable". The unions want Jean-Dominique Senard, the president of Renault “to come and present his plan to which no one understands anything. We will not wait until mid-June for an explanation. It is first of all to Choisy's employees that he owes explanations, not to the media! "
"Prelude to massive actions"
According to Fabien Gache, CGT central delegate (3rd union), "the employees understood that the project had no other purpose than to reduce production capacity and do not intend to let it go." According to him, this strike in Choisy-le-Roi is the "prelude to massive actions by all establishments". A meeting of the intersyndicale (CGC, CFDT, CGT, FO) at the central level took place Tuesday morning "in this sense" and a delegation from the central intersyndicale must go to the Val-de-Marne site on Wednesday.
"The objective is to develop other local actions in all the sites and to aim for a more global action of all the employees by integrating engineering, that is to say nearly 15,000 people, still largely in telework", added Mr. Gâche. The automaker, in difficulty, announced last week a savings plan of more than 2 billion euros which plans to cut 4,600 jobs in three years in France or nearly 10% of the group's workforce in France.
