The labor inspectorate examines the use of short-time working in the Girondins

Tense situation on all floors at the moment in Bordeaux Girondins. While coach Paulo Sousa announced his departure to the players on Thursday, supporters do not miss an opportunity to shout their anger and the new mayor has asked for the departure of President Frédéric Longuépée, the labor inspectorate has surrendered Friday at club headquarters to check if the conditions for applying the partial unemployment measures during confinement have been met by management.

This control body has been studying the Bordeaux dossier at Château du Haillan for several days, AFP learned from an internal source at the club. The labor inspectorate was alerted during the confinement by the broadcasting by the Ultramarines, the main group of Bordeaux supporters fiercely opposed to the management of their club, of the “Girondins Leaks”: soundtracks questioning certain compromising practices of their leaders.

In one of them, broadcast on May 14 on social networks, the director of commercial strategy, stadium and network, Antony Thiodet, declared that "out of the 32 people I manage at the Girondins de Bordeaux, there are some half of whom have been placed on partial unemployment, there are some others who have been asked to serve their leave immediately ”.

"But I can tell you that all of them continued to work. Even those who were on vacation, they continued to work, even those who were on partial unemployment, they continued to work, "continued the leader in this extract.

Thiodet wanted to "pay tribute to the mobilization of employees"

These practices, if proven, can be assimilated to embezzlement of public money and sanctioned, in the opinion of specialists in the labor code, while the government has promised increased controls on compliance with measures of partial unemployment. This affair rebounded at the beginning of the week following in particular the diffusion of a report on BFM TV, entitled “partial unemployment: the big cheat”, which took the example of the Bordeaux club.

To defend himself, Antony Thiodet had sent a video provided by the club in which he assured that "none of the 32 collaborators (...) worked during this period or received any instruction from his superior" . "In reality, what I wanted to express was to pay tribute to the mobilization and commitment of our employees who, while they worked, did not stop trying to be useful to their club" , he justified himself.
