Sunday work: union bazaar BHV – Liberation

This is a case study on which the deputies, who review since Tuesday the bill work, will floor. Trading on Sunday work that animates the stores of Galeries Lafayette summarizes, in its scale, number of challenges posed by the text carried by Myriam El Khomri, the Minister of Labour: should develop through referendum in enterprises , as provided in the bill? Conversely, should the unions retain the right to object? So many questions that divide the union’s stores located in international tourist areas, created by Macron law in July.



“Commonality”

Example BHV-Marais, large group of store located in the I st arrondissement, where an agreement on the opening Sunday was signed Tuesday by two stations: SUD Solidaires, which weighs 33% of the vote professional and CFE-CGC (8%). An alloy rather surprising since SUD Solidaires has always heard, in the company as at the national level, his opposition to Sunday work. Just like salaried BHV themselves, which were expressed by a narrow majority in November, against a first draft agreement during a referendum as provided by Macron law.

Quoted by AFP, François Le Menuet representative of SUD Solidaires BHV, defends its decision, saying he wanted to “negotiate the best for employees’ against developments that “we will not escape.” Concluded for three years, the agreement provides an annual ceiling of 15 worked Sundays paid with dual recovery for employees usually stationed week. For those weekend, the first 15 Sundays will be increased by 100%, following 50% without recovery. Management is also committed not to close three stores in Paris and in Lyon during the term of the agreement.

When asked by Libération employees BHV-Marais are shared. “It’s a good thing. Getting paid double, with a recovery day, it puts butter in the spinach at the end of the month, “ says a seller to ten years of retirement after sixteen past BHV. “In principle, why not, provided that schedules are reasonable,” a short shade. He added: “Sunday is sacred. It allows you to relax, eat family … To live what! “ same story of a freshly recruited demonstrator, not closed Sunday work but is however concerned his ” banalization “ and the principle of voluntary, although guaranteed by law Macron. “We are told that it will be on a voluntary basis. In reality, it will not really be the case, “ she continues. His fear: that employees refusing to work on Sundays are moved to positions 100% week on which “it will be harder to achieve sales targets” “If we refuse it. will be frowned upon, “ abounds another.

concerns shared by CGT (34% of the vote professional). Friday, the main union of the store said he would oppose the text and would play its right to object. But for it to be valid, it must come from unions representing over 50% of votes. Hence the appeal of the foot of the CGT to the CFTC (25%) to invite them to do the same. “It is incomprehensible that our union is the only one to enforce the majority opinion expressed by the employees at the November referendum 2015″ supported the CGT. Without convince its target, which finally indicated that it would not object to the agreement. Which in fact leaves the way open for validation. And so the opening seven days a week BHV, which would become the first Parisian department store to the new rules of the Macron law.



“profile cases”

Here what comfort the Galeries Lafayette group, which conducts parallel negotiations on the same subject, just as complicated in its flagship store on boulevard Haussmann. Again, the opposition of the CGT, but also of the SCID and FO, is fierce. However, the CFE-CGC ensures that “The door is not closed”

It remains a certainty. These negotiations will be closely monitored by the management representatives of the sector. Starting with those of Fnac, who had suffered a setback in January when three unions weighing more than 50% of the votes have announced that they wished to exercise their right of opposition to the agreement on Sunday working. At the time, anti-working Sunday rejoiced in this small “victory.” Karl Ghazi of the CGT trade, however tinged by the scale: “It is not so common. Beyond these high-profile cases, combat is more complicated, especially in companies where there is a stronger burst of wage labor and where unions are weaker. “
