The thousand jobs threatened slaughter Gad – Press Center

Back in turmoil, the slaughterhouse Gad Josselin, Morbihan, considering a liquidation. A tragedy for the thousands of employees.

Gad, who has abolished last year nearly 900 jobs, is again in turmoil. The management of the pig slaughterhouse Josselin (Morbihan) has announced plans to open a bankruptcy procedure, a threat to 1,137 employees.

The announcement was made Wednesday at a committee Central Works, said a statement issued Saturday CFDT.

“It takes so Intermarche wood”

Management has justified its decision by “cash flow problems” , said the union representative at Gad, Patrick Piguel. Added to this are particular difficulties in the pig industry and a Russian ban on imports of pigs (see page 15) . In the short term, the company also faced the repayment of debt maturities, amounting to 4.5 million euros, payable on October 10. CFDT Saturday called Manuel Valls and asked him in a letter to set up “in the shortest time a crisis” with the participation of the social partners.
For a thousand employees Josselin, however, remains the hope of eventual site recently initiated negotiations with the Intermarket Group, “only player who came forward to the resumption of the slaughter” , according to Patrick Piguel. “But these negotiations drag” , lamented Annie Fargeix, the regional union CFDT Morbihan.
According to UD CFDT file bankruptcy should be filed at the Commercial Court end August-early September. Justice can rule on an immediate liquidation, or liquidating with business continuity for two months, if a buyer has filed for recovery.
“If the court shall determine the application requires that the offer be filed before the hearing “, said Patrick Piguel. In any event, he has commented, “It takes so Intermarche wood as soon as possible” . The distress call is started
