“At the end of May 2025, there will be no more sellers on the EEGP shelves (consumer electronics and household appliances) Auchan stores. » Gilles Martin, CFDT Auchan Retail France union representative, specifies the repercussions of the social plan announced Tuesday November 5, 2024 by the mass distribution brand belonging to the Mulliez group.
“There are between 5 and 15 sellers per store in these EEGP departments”adds the unionist. In the Auchan hypermarket in Vineuil, six employees are affected. Customers will still be able to purchase these products but on a self-service basis. Locally, no response has been received from the unions regarding the reclassification of their colleagues.
“Avoid economic layoffs”
“We are asking for their reclassification at best within Auchan stores or at worst within one of the Mulliez group brands in order to avoid economic layoffs, insists Gilles Martin. Our union is also waiting to know how much state aid the group received. »
Asked about the local consequences, the director of Auchan Vineuil, who arrived on September 30, 2024, did not wish to communicate. Across France, this social plan provides for the elimination of nearly 2,400 jobs and the closure of points of sale including three hypermarkets.
