Three weeks to the day after the scabby strike of the workers from Stellantis in Poissy (Yvelines) to prevent the closure of the factory, it is a new blow that falls on the 2,600 people who work there. Already very worried about their future, employees learned via the media that Poissy was, with Massy, a finalist to welcome the future PSG stadium. And if it is Poissy who is selected, the land occupied by the automotive plant would be used.
“We learned the news like everyone else in the press. A few months ago, Poissy appeared well in the list of envisaged cities, then nothing. Today, that Poissy suddenly returns to favorite, it questions. Obviously, the town hall knows things about our future that we, employees, we do not know and that the management of Stellantis hides us ”, proclaims Jean-Pierre Mercier, Sud union delegate.
The city of Poissy defends itself: “We are delighted to welcome the PSG campus to our territory but the community has not Not a candidate In this file and does not wish to express themselves more so as not to fuel rumors. »»
“It’s not a surprise”
It is therefore for employees a new step towards The upcoming closure of the factory.
“It is not a surprise. Internally, we are already experiencing the closure of the factory. The production of cars ends little by little. Management announced that in September, and perhaps even before, a new decline in production would take place. »»
No official announcement concerning the factory was made, however. “We think we have it for under 2 years oldmaybe 18 months. We don’t really know, ”adds Jean-Pierre Mercier.
“It’s a scandal”
The atmosphere is therefore not the most joyful within the factory. “This information confirms what you feel and what you experience daily in this factory. For us, it is a real scandal that a group as rich That Stellantis can envisage the closure of the Poissy factory, ”admits the South union representative.
However, employees do not intend to let go. “We are not at all resigned. We are even determined to amplify this event Against the closure of the factory and obtain guarantees on our future, ”he concludes.
The stadium and the factory at the same time?
On the side of the management of Stellantis, the bell sound is not quite the same. “The Stellantis factory in Poissy has an established industrial project Until 2028 With the assembly of the Opel Mokka and the DS3. Beyond this date, the historic and emblematic factory will pursue industrial activities. Future projects for the factory will be discussed in full transparency, with the social partners when one comes, ”confirms the group.
And to continue: “In addition, this factory is located on a very large land, which also presents opportunities for different Types of additional activities ».
The group will say any more. However, the track for building a stadium while keeping the factory seems envisaged.
