GUILLAUME SOUVANT / AFP

A former employee of the Amazon site in Saran (Loiret), whose dismissal had been recognized "without real and serious cause" by the labor tribunals of Orleans in October, had the company's accounts seized to receive his compensation, his lawyer announced this Friday.

“I appointed a bailiff to enter the account.

This procedure began on Wednesday and it lasts a fortnight, ”Me Avi Bitton told AFP, relying on a document from a Parisian bailiff that AFP was able to consult.

This document refers to a "report of seizure-allocation" issued at the request of its client "against Amazon France Logistics SAS", whose head office is in Clichy (Hauts-de-Seine).

The company condemned by the industrial tribunal

“Amazon has been walking us for months.

Their lawyer says they will pay, but it's been going on for too long, ”he said.

According to Me Bitton, the online sales giant received the notification of the judgment, like its client, on October 20.

Neither Amazon nor its client appealed.

According to the lawyer, the former employee has not found a job and is "in financial difficulty following this delay in execution".

On October 19, 2020, the labor tribunal ordered the American giant to pay its former employee 15,000 euros in damages, as well as more than 6,000 euros in severance notice and salary supplements.

Facts without "gravity"

The former employee was fired at the end of 2018 after suggesting the "blocking of the warehouse", on the eve of "Black Friday", in a message on the Facebook group entitled "us yellow vests", followed by 29,000 subscribers.

If Amazon was entitled to believe that the employee did not have to publish this message for the sake of loyalty to his employer, "the seriousness of the facts is not proven" objectively, considered the judges.

If the charges "may be reprehensible, they can in no way justify a dismissal procedure for serious misconduct", concluded the industrial tribunal.
