The Paris administrative court on Friday canceled the validation of the job protection plan (PSE) of the French Football Federation (FFF), contested by nine employees of the authority.

The court ruled that the director general of the FFF, Florence Hardouin, did not have the competence to represent the employer in the collective agreement, signed with the SNAAF-CFDT on July 13, which determines the measures provided for by the PSE.

This agreement was validated on July 16 by the regional director of the economy, employment, labor and solidarity of Ile-de-France, a decision which was contested by nine employees by the FFF.

“The general manager of the FFF could not sign the majority agreement, being deprived of the capacity to represent the employer.

Therefore, the applicants are justified in maintaining that the decision of July 16, 2021 of the regional director of the economy, employment, work and solidarity of Ile-de-France is vitiated by illegality and can only 'be quashed,' says the administrative court's decision.

"We will obviously apply the decisions"

The administrative court also ordered the State to pay a total sum of 1,500 euros to the applicants, for legal costs. The FFF, with its finances burdened by the failure of the France team at the Euro and the Covid-19 pandemic, planned to cut around twenty positions. Several employees contested the PES launched during the summer before the administrative court of Paris, some of them pointing to criteria of gender and sexual orientation having motivated, according to them, the choice of the dismissed people.

"We will obviously apply the decisions" of the administrative court of Paris, warned Noël Le Graët, president of the FFF, in an interview with AFP broadcast on November 30.

“We do not take leaps of joy when we take decisions of this kind (set up a PES).

We could have taken others, it's true, but I think it was time to do it, ”he said again.

The FFF is holding its General Assembly on Saturday in Paris, where less worrying than expected financial results will be presented.
