Flags, demands… Near the Laiterie de Saint-Denis-de-l’Hôtel (LSDH), strikers take turns on the picket set up near the entrance to the factory. The movement has been going on for two weeks. This is a first in this large company which employs more than 600 employees to package milk and fruit juice. And for now, no way out is in sight.
The strikers are demanding an upward revision of the wage agreement signed by the CFDT after the mandatory annual negotiations. On May 31, a delegation of six strikers was received by management. But the meeting ended in failure.
“We want an increase of 300 euros, ie 185 euros more than what was signed, and we are also asking for an improvement in working conditions”, explains CGT trade unionist Abdelak Ahmaidi.
The management deplores the blockage
The movement, which began on May 23, was renewed at the start of the week during a new general assembly. Initially, he mobilized about 150 strikers, and Tuesday evening, they were still about 80 to strike. The CGT accuses management of playing for time to avoid having to negotiate.
For its part, it ensures that “many employees are returning to work. “Very clear instructions have been given so that striking and non-striking employees find a peaceful and benevolent work collective”, she adds in a press release, while deploring a new blockage, Tuesday, at the entrance reserved for the site staff.
The strikers say they are still determined and are waiting for the organization of a new meeting. According to Abdelak Ahmaidi, the departmental directorate for employment, labor and solidarity in Loiret asked boss Emmanuel Vasseneix at the end of last week to reopen the dialogue. But for the moment no meeting is scheduled.
