Situation

So they chose to come together to demand progress in their situationWednesday September 11, 2024.

If the payment of the July salaries have been ensuredemployees have had no income since then. And, despite everything, they must continue to feed themselvesfind accommodation or even pay their bills. “Everyone is caught by the throat,” sighs one of the employees, who sums up his situation as being “at unemployment, but without right.” His colleague agrees. “I have two kids, i can’t feed them. What do I do? We didn’t get our compensation.”

“We are being taken hostage”

To manage the liquidation, their company went through a firm.
