Tipped to take the reins of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, fifties, former technician at Renault, metallo like Thierry Lepaon is described as very hard working and made records with those around him. For now, he cultivates his discretion. Philippe Martinez headed since 2008 CGT federation of metallurgy, the third largest in the CGT, with over 60 000 members. On it, it does not mean anything, not even his date of birth. This man with the thick mustache, described as posed, accessible and hardworking by those around him, made his career at Renault in Boulogne-Billancourt, where he was central union representative. It is a member of the executive committee of the confederation, the Enlarged Executive, since the last congress of the CGT, in March 2013 in Toulouse.
“This is a hard worker, who masters all industry records” and “moves much” field says Christian Garnier, central delegate at Alstom crossing from time to time. “If he were to take a day the responsibility of the union, I have no doubt about its ability to take on,” says Christian Garnier. Another quality: “He listens a lot and is able to delegate.” Character, “he is not flashy, makes no bling-bling,” the union of Alstom. Bruno Lemerle, CGT representative at PSA, it is “frank” and “hard worker”. “Serious, rigorous, intelligent and modest” for Jacques Bauquier, regional head of the CGT in Franche-Comté. “The federation of metallurgy works very well with him,” said Isabelle Colino, delegated CGT PSA Sochaux.

However, for a connoisseur of the plant, Philippe Martinez failed to develop his federation and has not shown a great dynamism to his head. At the CFE-CGC, the head of metallurgy federation Gabriel Artero someone mentions “discrete”, “asked”, “which also seems to be determined.” “I do not remember seeing him go, he clearly expresses” and “tells it firmly enough,” according to Gabriel Artero. Its ability to lead the CGT, he refused to comment, but stressed that “in the federation, it seems to be the boss.”
According to another observer from labor, Philippe Martinez belongs within the CGT to “Boulogne-Billancourt line”, very in tune with the Communist Party, which he would have the card. It is also “very close” Nathalie Gamiochipi, patron of the Federation of Health, second largest federation.
In late December, he finally sought the resignation of the confederal office. But the boss Steelworkers is not one of those blasted on Lepaon because the facts revealed, said he, raise questions that “go beyond the mere general secretary and beyond to a single failure, “he says in the last letter of the federation. The “ethical issues in relation to the values of our organization,” among others. “We were too far away from union approach, there needs to correct,” he wrote in advocating more rigor in the use of resources of the union, including the confederation, where “there is no rule of life. “
