The elected personnel of the LCL bank, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole SA, alerted the management about the poor working conditions that cause “a record rate of resignations”, according to what union sources indicated this Friday.
In a letter sent to management on May 10, the different unions denounced “management’s immobility, its inaction, its ill will”, which led to “employee working conditions continuing to deteriorate, contributing to damaging their physical and mental health.
17% increase in sick days
The unions thus cite “a record rate of resignations” in 2022, of 5.7%. In 2022, 967 employees decided to leave LCL, an increase of 27% compared to 2021 and 30% compared to 2019. The editors of this letter also warn of “an all-time record in the number of sick days at 258,534 days, 17% more than in 2019”.
“In the face of this disastrous observation,” the elected officials, whose term expires in June, are calling on the leadership to hold an “extraordinary meeting in the coming days.”

“We have been alerting the management for several years, we have done it several times, but that has not moved things,” lamented Emmanuel Hergott, national union representative of the CFDT, the third union of the LCL. Contacted, management declined to comment.
In mid-January, some 200 bank employees gathered in Paris and several branches closed due to a strike to demand higher wages and better working conditions.
