Since Monday, around forty home helpers, social care assistants, educational and social support workers, etc. from the ADMR have been on strike. Since the judicial liquidation of ADAPAC and the resumption of activity by ADMR last February, employees have denounced “suffering at work” particularly linked to poor planning management.
“Some users prefer to leave”
“We're fed up,” says Sandrine Mas, the CGT elected official, “one, of not having a private life since the phone is constantly ringing… At night too, as there is no right to privacy. disconnection for anyone. And then above all behind, we end up with a quality of service which is degraded. So, at the beginning a wave of staff left, but now it's a wave of users who are leaving; they waited a little bit, but they see that things are deteriorating and they leave us, they go to the competition ».
“We do not want to be mistreating, we want to provide quality service and have a good image of our profession and the ADMR.”
“Morally exhausted”
Sylvie Legrand has been an employee for 15 years within the structure. When asked about what is not working, she replies:
” All, the entire organization. There is no respect…De the user first, employees, THE schedules change all the time, care workers who regularly went to users' homes go elsewhere NOW, without having warned the user, that is to say that they find themselves with people who'they don't don’t know.”
« LSalaries are paid late but the real problem is Above all l’organization, everyone touches the planning (…) We have time ranges which it is are not normal, mid-temps therapeutic it is are not respectedés and so it exhausts us“morally”.
The movement will be renewed this Tuesday, a meeting with management is scheduled for the morning. ADMR today employs some 260 employees in Corrèze who work with 2,000 clients.
