2023-05-25 16:55:13

The management of Mestdagh is not ready for the passage under franchise of 16 of its 51 stores from July 1, estimates Thursday evening the permanent CNE Evelyne Zabus, following a works council of more than 8 hours . “When we talk regarding the followingmath (franchising), we are told: ‘it is no longer our responsibility’“, deplores the trade unionist.

Among the fifty questions, mainly of an organizational and technical nature, filed by the unions with the management, many are still awaiting an answer, according to the CNE. They concern, in particular, the payment of wages, the social secretariat, or the GDPR (general regulation on data protection) applied by franchisees.

The unions are also asking for a “registered official legal document“covering all the working conditions at the time of the franchise. The trade unions are also requesting the establishment of a telephone number for group workers who have questions regarding the franchise process.”We have not received any official response to this request. However, going under franchise brings real psychosocial concerns among workers.“, laments Evelyne Zabus.

In addition, management was also asked to organize a meeting between unions and future buyers of franchise stores in order to discuss, in particular, the future work regulations. “Without a response from management, franchisees will have to wipe the plaster“, warns the trade unionist. A new works council will take place next Thursday, one month from the franchise of 16 stores.
