The administration of the work of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is wrongly validated on July 30, the Agreement on the Employment Safeguarding Plan (PES) of FedEx, the specialist of the Delivery of parcels, which aims to remove 276 stations out of 5 990 in the FedEx Express France (Road Transport) entity? In any case, minority unions will ask the Lyon Administrative Tribunal on 16 November to cancel this validation. According to them, the control carried out by the Regional Directorate of Economy, Employment, Labor and Solidarity (Dreets) has not been sufficient, particularly with regard to the definition of affected occupational categories, which they Incoherent judge.
The application of this PSE began with a period of submission of voluntary departure applications from August 3rd to 21st. Some employees, whose position was deleted, opted for a voluntary departure because they were guided “by fear”, denounces Stéphanie Lavalette, union delegate of the autonomous Confederation of Labor. Their fear: to be reclassified in a position not corresponding to their skills and be, finally, licensed for professional insufficiency, without being able to benefit from the PES. “This pushed them to request a voluntary disaster departure,” said M me Lavalette, for whom these “voluntary departures constrained” would concern “a hundred people”.
Among them, employees having between twenty-five and thirty years of seniority, currently “Customer Financial Services Managers”, to whom the company would like to become “customer service managers”, posts that require mastery English.
In fact, within the same occupational category, people whose employment is deleted have “the obligation” to take the positions left vacant by voluntary employees, whose post was not Deleted, explains M me Lavalette.
Grouping job titles
This situation originates in the revision of the PES, after the signing of the majority agreement, on June 3, by the CFDT and the SNSG House Union. Indeed, the workforce reductions were not included in categories of jobs, but by job titles, which is illegal.
To have the green light of the Dreets, FedEx Express has grouped job titles to form categories in which the dismissal criteria would be applied. But without taking into account the geographical areas of the jobs concerned.
“Therefore, an administrative manager in Tours, for example, whose position is deleted, may be forced to take a position in Rennes”, according to M me Lavalette, for whom the agreement is inapplicable in the state.
“Management corrected the agreement unilaterally, deplores a representative of the CFE-CGC. The Dreets should have requested Fedex to make an amendment to the agreement”, which would have resulted in a negotiation and, perhaps to be, would have avoided these anomalies.
Solicited, the CFDT, the first union in the company, did not answer us. The management of FedEx either. For its part, the Dreets specified not to comment on a case in progress.
