Transfer of the production line to Fégréac
Monday November 18, 2024, elected officials from this body sounded the alarm. Compass’ current strategy is to close the Mauron site and transfer the entire meal production chain to Loire-Atlantique, an hour and 20 minutes’ drive away, knowing that we have a real need for these meals. and these jobs here
explain Nathalie Chesnard, treasurer of the CSE, employee at Mauron, and her colleagues from Fégréac, Sabrina Bouligand, secretary, and Laurence Lavoillotte, administrative manager.
The meals are distributed in particular in the town’s school restaurant, where the children of the two primary schools eat. We also serve meals to sixteen nurseries in the Ploërmel region. If we close, these structures will probably be forced to look for them elsewhere

CSE-management meeting Tuesday November 19, 2024
The Mauron site employs nineteen employees, women and men. At the end of September, we learned that the site was going to close at the end of December 2024. As soon as the school year started, we felt a decrease in activity; temporary workers were no longer employed to help us.
We lost markets at that time
testifies Nathalie Chesnard, who adds: The proposals we received as part of the social plan are really not up to par.
The site’s employees live in the Mauron, Saint-Méen, Merdrignac and Guilliers area. according to the members of the CSE. We have seven employees who have more than twenty years of seniority. Some are three or four years from retirement. The average age of our colleagues here is 49 years old
they specify. At this age, it is complicated to train for a new profession or find another job.
Tuesday, November 19, 2024, the CSE will meet with company managers to negotiate better conditions as part of the Social Plan. Conditions that are acceptable to all employees, so that everyone gets by
conclude the three elected officials.
