found dozens of cases that remain in the shade

Discontent, refusal of defeatism crisis, exacerbation of the sense of injustice after the announcement of parachutes Golden some patterns... In recent weeks, numerous employees is more resigned to the fate of the social plans announced in their business. The image of the employees of the pharmaceutical company 3 m of Pithiviers. Their decision to confine their Director is similar in many respects to what happened last month in Sony France ("Les Echos" from March 16). In both cases, the objective is the same: get better conditions of terms of departure under the social plan being implemented by the company. "We call a renegotiation of the severance, a premium of transfer, mobility of twenty-four months leave," reason Jean-François Caparros, steward FO of the plant, which employs 235 people and the Directorate announced late 2008 the abolition of 110 posts and the transfer of 40 in another local company.

All sectors are affected

If the actions in Sony and 3 m hits the spirits, they are symptomatic of a general being evil. "We pay today the fact that, in many companies, effective social dialogue was did not work in recent years," said Michel Meunier, in charge of the social dialogue at the Centre of young leaders (CJD). Some employees choose methods less muscular than Sony and 3 m. The image of the employees of the centre of R & D Rennes Motorola. To protest against the removal of 150 jobs, employees have developed online on the Internet of the parodies of songs in video which "mourns the phone", or from Claude François still "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Châteauroux, Eurostyle employees have abandoned traditional pickets and preferred to organize a Carnival and a garage sale. Prior to denounce the feeling to be "bled white" a collection of blood by the company. At Evreux, GlaxoSmithKline employees claim to a premium of "moral injury". While the employees of Amora-Maille, in Dijon, have organized an exhibition and manufactured custom t-shirts (see below). Between these extremes the sequestration of the pattern and some form of humor the hexagon is sprinkled by social plans where the challenge is more traditional forms such as production blocking or picket lines. In accepting that the ads were relating to more than 200 employees, not less than 60 social plans can be identified in France (see map). And this list is not exhaustive. All regions and all sectors are affected and behind the names placed under the spotlight (Continental, Renault, etc.), found dozens of cases that remain in the shade.

To cope with this evil-be more deep employees, public authorities seem largely disarmed. The announcement made by Nicolas Sarkozy in Saint-Quentin soon appoint "Commissioners of the re-industrialization" which "will have full powers and will have increased financial resources to mobilize all actors" leaves for skeptical when many social observers. While used to quip François Bayrou (Modem) that, yesterday, this decision explaining that he "had the impression that it was time" at the time of the conversion of coalfield and re-industrialization of Lorraine, Bernard Van Craeynest President of GSC found the "excellent" principle while asking "what will be the full powers".
