Several unions called Lidl distributor employees on Monday that smells four days a week from Thursday, without time limit, to request “decent working conditions.” Lidl has about 46,000 employees in 1,600 stores in France.
In a brochure, the intersyndice (CFDT, CGT, CFTC and fo) invites the employees of the distributor to strike “every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday” denounce an “exponential increase in the workload” that “ruined (its) health” and “against the obligation of work on Sundays and vacations.” These union organizations also denounce “a massive fall in staff.” The ANSA, the first union of the group, is not signatary of this brochure that asks for a pearl blow.
Tense social context
At the beginning of February, the CFDT, the CGT, the CFTC, FO and the CFE-CGC had requested a strike for similar reasons and request an increase in salaries. Quite often, it had been suspended after four days. The discount of the German origin is experiencing a beginning of the year in the year, between the tense social context and the announcement at the end of January of the surprise departure of its main means of the media in France, its vice president Michel Biero.
