The strikers seem determined to continue the movement in the hope of moving the lines in the ranks of the management of Delhaize. But what genuinely touches striking staff is customer support. Gilbert Fumtchum, Delhaize employee in Hornu and CNE union representative, speaks of a victory, because, for lack of customers, stores had to close once more. “A bailiff came to issue us an order to lift the picket in front of the store. We respected it, but we continued to educate customers so that they join our cause.“, he says.
Thanks to customer support, other stores also had to close
And to add:This awareness campaign worked so well that at 1:30 p.m. the store closed because there were no customers inside. Thanks to customer support, other stores also had to close as they were forced to reopen. This solidarity is extraordinary!“
