This Wednesday, around thirty of the 160 employees of the Leroy Merlin brand in Malemort walked off the job. A national action, because at the time of the NAO (compulsory annual negotiations), management refuses to integrate gradual seniority bonuses, 30 euros gross monthly every 3 years.
Incomprehensible especially since “the shareholder has made a profit of 1 billion euros over the last 3 years” explain Renaud Biret. For the CGT union delegatethe oldest are the most impacted:
« Because the salalaughed which arrive, with the revaluation of the SMIC, ils are catching up with us. And we, the old ones, can't stand out from the newl arrived whilewe offer all our experience, our expertise for years. »
« We wonder if they really want to keep us”
« JI have 13 years in the store and I am in favor of teaching everything I know to new arrival. But I want seniority to be recognized because since COVID, we no longer have a bonus and we wonder where the money is going ».
“We wonder if they want to keep us in the end, that's the question we ask ourselves… And then the young person who arrives in the company, he says to himself well they don't motivate me to stay, he doesn't There is no seniority bonus.
Too much turnover
“Formers like us who had good years at Leroy Merlin (…) what we want is to perpetuate jobs in the Brive sector. In our Leroy Merlin, we want there to be experience that lasts (…) Over the last 2 years, we have had an incredible turnover, whether at home or even among executives. Of the 160 employees at the opening (editor's note: October 2012), there are barely 25. In the 2021 financial year, there were 40 departures… The turnover is enormous. And we want it to stop. In fact, we are a great company and we want it to last.”
