Management confirmed that 313 stores were affected by the sale: 241 supermarkets, 65 hypermarkets, three Drive sites, one Spar and three Leader Price. A next appointment has been set for January 4, she added. This meeting should, specified the inter-union in a press release, make it possible to “establish the social calendar of future deadlines”.
Store sales between April and June 2024
Store sales should take place between “April and June 2024”, according to the inter-union association. “The comex (executive committee, editor’s note) of Casino and the representatives of the consortium of buyers confirmed to us that everything would be sold, except the proximity, Monoprix, Franprix and Cdiscount. Everything else is doomed to disappear, which corresponds to around 18,000 employees”, declared Jean Pastor (CGT), spokesperson for the inter-union, during a meeting with the press organized Tuesday evening in front of the group’s headquarters in Saint-Etienne.
Convenience stores represent “between 400 and 450 direct jobs attached to the headquarters. I think that the other 1,200 who work for stores and logistics will leave the headquarters,” he added.
A national mobilization in Casino warehouses on Friday
“There is going to be a fairly significant social breakdown. They did not want to tell us formally, but at headquarters,” on the total number of employees, “two thirds work for the stores. The other third will perhaps be saved because (the local) convenience stores remain with us”, said Nathalie Devienne of the FO union.
“There is going to be an unprecedented social breakdown at headquarters level, where yesterday (Monday) management held staff information meetings to announce the implementation of a PSE (employment protection plan) early January”, reported Jean Pastor.
To maintain the pressure, the inter-union called for a national mobilization in Casino warehouses on Friday and in stores on Saturday, a few days before Christmas.
