Saturday was a day of mobilization in Castres, Tarn, hundreds of people demonstrated despite pouring rain to protest against the announced reduction of 551 jobs in the pharmaceutical company Pierre Fabre. Mobilization justified by the fact that the company is doing well but mainly because it is the largest employer in the public.

Pierre Fabre, a heavyweight who wants to degrease. The Drill lozenges, creams Dexeryl, antiallergic Primalan, Klorane products, shampoo René Furterer, Avene thermal spring water, etc. Behind all these brands, there Pierre Fabre Laboratories, third behind French laboratories Sanofi and Servier. The company employs nearly 10,000 people in 44 countries, is therefore a heavyweight Health

The company makes money but faces an evolution. The activities of its pharmaceutical sector and research stagnated while its dermo-cosmetics branch continues to grow. To maintain profitability, management has decided in December 2014 to launch a restructuring plan called “Trajectory 2018,” synonymous with more than 500 job cuts in France.

Castres, a city that can not do without laboratories S. ‘there is a vile those who fear job cuts, it is Castres. Pierre Fabre Laboratories have set up their headquarters and are one of the largest employers in the municipality. The announcement of the removal of 8% of the French workforce is experienced as a threat in this city that sees its other major employer, the army and the 8th RPIMA, trim down.

Getting involved the announced restructuring, between 800 and 2,000 inhabitants Castres therefore did not hesitate to brave the rain to demonstrate. Because beyond the claim of the employees themselves, “This is the Castres area that concerns us the most,” assured the central trade union delegate of the CGT Fabrice Barcq.

“I am, I want to stay Pierre Fabre. “ In the middle of the flags of the CGT, FO and CFE-CGC, one could see many signs questioning the company. On a photo of Pierre Fabre, who died last year, stated: “Beneficiary Enterprise recipient’s employer, extent and condition of the PSE (Plan Job deletion) unacceptable.” “I am, I want to stay Pierre Fabre,” read another placard held by an employee of the company, while another had a “SOS an employee in distress.”

Employees particularly demanding as laboratories, rather than closing several research cells, offer their employees an upgrade. “We call on the leadership not to let people on the side by the finding that his qualifications do not correspond to the company,” said the CGT. “It is your (Pierre Fabre) spring training to new tools,” he said. And it added: “I feel like a ‘loser’ trust me some researchers.” A half-heard claim, the company offers opportunities for retraining or internal reclassification which should reduce by half the number of redundancies
