A new judicial front opens for Orpea. After the complaints filed by the families of residents, the current survey on its financial excesses, the European giant of private commercial retirement homes is attacked for “fraud” in the professional elections. Thursday, June 23, the CGT, the CFDT and FO denounced before the proximity court of Puteaux (Hauts-de-Seine) the designation of union representatives, in June 2019, to the social and economic committee (CSE), tainted according to them d ‘”Irregularities”. Employee vote has reduced the CGT and the CFDT to the congruent portion, completely ousted FO. The UNSA, number two, obtained four seats. On the other hand, the House union, baptized Arc en Ciel, carved out the lion’s share with twenty-five seats out of thirty-five.

The book cites recordings and testimonies delivered by Camille Lamarche.

On a work -study contract within the Human Resources Department (HRD) from 2018 to 2019, this lawyer explains to the world to have been “shocked by the group’s HR practices and by discrimination against certain unions . I saw how much having a house union allowed not to have disputes of the employees, including when they were legitimate. Orpea was afraid of the match! That an individual dispute triggers wage claims or strikes ” .
