New trade union action in front of the Delhaize store in Mons

In Mons, around forty people gathered in front of the lion supermarket around 9 a.m. to distribute leaflets to customers. “A new ordinance was issued this morning, for Hainaut only, stipulating that we cannot prevent access to the site”, commented the national secretary of the CNE for the commercial sector, Myriam Djegham, present among the protesters. “Once once more, the bailiff has an exaggerated interpretation of the judgment and deduces from it that we cannot be on the territory of Delhaize. This is overzealous. The police advised us to place ourselves on the opposite sidewalk”, off the land owned by the company.

In Brussels, the stores of Chazal (Schaerbeek), Arbre Ballon (Jette), Debroux (Auderghem), Boondael and Flagey (Ixelles) were also the target of actions.

The “nine stores are more or less affected. We are doing everything to guarantee their access and keep them open”, for his part commented the spokesperson for the sign, Roel Dekelver, who specifies that the bailiffs sent are content to ” observe the events”.

The group announced on March 7 that it wanted to franchise all of its own-operated stores in Belgium. Since then, the social conflict has persisted.
