Employees have been blocking access to the largest Carrefour hypermarket in Marseille for three days to request the hiring "as promised", according to them, of nine employees whose "professionalization contracts" expire.
Located on the heights of the second largest city in France, in the impoverished city of Saint-Antoine, the Grand Littoral store was occupied Thursday by about fifty employees preventing the entry of customers and deliveries using trolleys.
CDI refused
At the origin of this movement, rare, which began on Tuesday, the refusal of the management to transform into an indefinite term contract (CDI) nine of the eleven professionalization contracts in one of the brand's stores "while it was committed, ”reported several employees.
A decision that shocks them when the distribution group announced in February an increase of 7.8% of its sales to 78.6 billion euros despite the Covid-19 epidemic.
“I was on a fixed-term contract.
I was offered at the end of a second fixed-term contract to sign a professionalization contract, telling me that I had a foothold in Carrefour and that I could be hired at the end, but here I have just finished. learn that it was over, ”explains a cashier who wishes to remain anonymous.
Paid 1,100 euros per month for 35 hours, she dreams of a 30-hour CDI, the rule at Carrefour, admittedly paid less (980 euros monthly) but synonymous with "stability".
