Half of the journalists in permanent contracts of the satirical weekly took their card to the SNJ-CGT, to the chagrin of their direction.

“Duck things are happening that would do a good article in the duck”. Since the end of December, says Christophe Nobili, an unprecedented fever has won the Palmiped. No avian influenza on the horizon, but the creation by the journalist of a union unit, quickly joined by fifteen people, including eleven permanent employees. Unheard of, in this editorial staff, which has twenty-two journalists and a dozen executives and employees on permanent contracts, to which are added a dozen employees who combine this job with their retirement, as well as a myriad of employees more or less Regular. In the end: 49.45 FTE (full -time equivalent), according to the counting established for the creation of a CSE, and the vote scheduled for May 11 on the subject.

The step was taken at the end of 2021. One day, in the wake of an editorial conference, an editor and a director stolen in the feathers with more liveliness than usual. A fist has been lifted – which fell, fortunately, fell on anyone. During the same period, two employees “did not appreciate being treated with a little harshness,” says one of their colleagues. “We old, we have thick leather,” he decrypts, referring to the often “rough” tone of exchanges between plumitives. “But you have to stop, and change this way of addressing staff.”
