In 2013, M6 began broadcasting The Queens of Shopping. A program hosted by Cristina Cordula that quickly found its audience. Over the years, some candidates have made a few complaints, thus revealing the behind the scenes. Then sometimes the host was in turn pinned for remarks deemed inappropriate. While the program ended in 2022, A former employee took the matter to the industrial tribunal and then filed a complaint against the production company Hervé Hubert, which manages The Queens of Shopping but also Mask Singer or even No-Go Zone.
The man, renamed Charles by our colleagues at Parisianis 48 years old. He is a production manager in the audiovisual sector. In short, “He’s the one who holds the purse strings”the daily newspaper reports. He joined the Hervé Hubert company in 2013. And since May 14, he filed a complaint for “attempted fraud in judgment“. It all started much earlier, at the beginning of the Pure shopping. The pilot was validated by M6 and the channel ordered 100 shows to start. Enough to mobilize the production team for 10 to 12 months. And this every year until 2021. “There were no cuts in production administration“, says Charles, who was hired as a temporary worker on a fixed-term contract (CDDU). In November 2013, after a burnout, a labor inspection was carried out. It must be said that assistant fitters pointed out a “excessive workload“.
The Queens of Shopping: Big salary increases… but not for everyone
The Hervé Hubert company then found a solution.They very quickly created subsidiaries and, for example, split production into two, one company for post-production and another structure to manage the set. When you are an intermittent worker, you are normally dedicated to a project and when you are finished, you leave.“, says Charles. Except that he quickly starts working on other shows, which means days that are at least 10 hours long. All for a salary that doesn’t increase. He then protests against a “discrimination salariale“. Because you should know that the accountant hired above him received a 43.28% increase in six years and 38.46% for the production manager. During the seven years spent in this position, Charles obtained a 4.16% increase.
90,000 euros of lost earnings for the former employee of Reines du shopping
Faced with the situation and his fixed-term contracts renewed every 15 days for yearsCharles left the company in 2021 to devote himself to personal projects.I had twelve months of compensation, at 50% of what I earned. That’s what lit the fuse. I didn’t have in mind to be paid for my overtime at the beginning“, he says. His lawyer believes that he should have signed a permanent contract in view of the “permanent character” of his tasks. The forty-year-old then considers a loss of just over 90,000 euros between August 2013 and December 2021.
At the industrial tribunal, Hervé Hubert presented timesheets signed in advance and stipulating eight hours of daily work. For Charles and his counsel, these were fakes since the sheets were not “never rectified when there is overtime“, which happens regularly. He then decides to suspend the industrial tribunal proceedings in order to attack the company for “attempted fraud in judgment” with a Paris public prosecutor. For his part, Hervé Hubert defends himself and indicates that he feels that Charles “wants to raise money to keep his company afloat“.
