This time, it's the right one! The Renault factory in Sandouville reopened its doors overnight from Thursday to Friday. The site had resumed activity on April 28, before having to close on May 7, following a court decision which found that workers' safety from the Covid-19 was not guaranteed. "I am very happy to be able to resume activity after eight days of administrative closure. It was a real injustice for me not to be able to go to work during these eight days", testified at the microphone of Europe 1 Gilles Henri, CFE-CGC delegate.
"Any closure in a group weighs"
In the meantime, however, the future of Renault has darkened. The automaker is suffering the full brunt of the consequences of the health crisis and three factories could close permanently in France. Sandouville is not concerned but necessarily, it plays on the morale of the site's employees.
"Any closure in a group weighs", confirms Gilles Henri. "When we are told that in the Renault France group, four factories are likely to close ... Because it is 'likely' in addition. I have not had confirmation from my company so it remains "we say" media. After, yes, it can disturb going to work. "

Friday, the Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, warned in an interview with Le Figaro that "Renault is playing [has] its survival". And asked the group to "commit in particular to the maintenance in France of certain activities" if he wanted to ensure that he obtained a loan from the State.
