They protest against a plan of voluntary departures. More than 100 employees of the Travaux du Midi company, a subsidiary of Vinci Construction, blocked the construction site of the Ikea store in Nice on Tuesday. "The site has been completely stopped, no one has returned," said Raphaël Cafieri, staff representative of Travaux du Midi Provence.
According to this representative, of the 360 production employees employed by Travaux du Midi, some 180 are affected by this voluntary departure plan (PDV) which, according to him, could switch to a job protection plan (PSE) if the quota of departures is not filled with the POS. The elected official fears that this is a "pretext" to replace CDI by CDD.
A turnover divided by four since 2016
The Vinci Construction company confirms "a plan to readjust the workforce" of its subsidiary, providing for "the reduction of 169 journeyman positions and 15 site foremen out of a total of 524 employees".
According to her, the Travaux du Midi companies "have known since 2016 a continuous deterioration in their activities, recently aggravated by the health crisis", with a turnover "divided by four since 2016".
A new blockage on Wednesday
For their part, the employees remain determined to continue their strike movement and call for a new blockage on Wednesday. "Our director came and we told him again that the social plan, we don't want it," explains Raphaël Cafieri.
The store is due to open within several months.
