Mass distribution The 87 Carrefour Markets concerned will change sign and products.
This Tuesday morning, an extraordinary business council took place at Mestdagh. A few weeks after the announcement of the end of the collaboration with Carrefour, the company had to find a new agreement with another partner. A question of survival, according to management.
And it is therefore Intermarché that has signed a new partnership agreement with Mestdagh. A change that will come into effect on January 1, 2023, and whose direct impacts are still unclear. First, on the side of the workers of the Mestdagh group. In common front, the unions expressed their fears. “From January 1, 2023, Intermarché will therefore own the stores and warehouses, so they can do what they want. Closing, franchising, outsourcing of warehouses or even maintaining the same activity? So many questions! No social guarantee, therefore. It is therefore a new period of uncertainty that is opening up for workers.we learn. In what sauce will they be eaten by the end of 2022? One thing is certain, the Mestdagh family sold to the highest bidder. Not to the one who will be the highest social bidder, but who will bring the most to the Mestdagh company and especially to its shareholders.“
