This Saturday, December 7, the union representatives of the CFDT distributed leaflets in front of the store Decathlon of Beauvais. They were responding to a national call for strike which denounces the deterioration of the working conditions of employees for the benefit of the shareholders of the Mulliez family association (AFM), owner of the famous sports equipment brand.
According to the union, shareholder dividends have continued to increase since 2020. To reach one billion euros this year. At the same time, a drop in staff numbers, salaries that are too low and an increase in sick leave are reported. “A billion euros for shareholders and nothing for employees when the vast majority of them only receive the minimum wage, it’s intolerabledeclares the union in a press release. CFDT Décathlon requires that the value created by employees be shared.»
Sustaining jobs
In its text, the CFDT draws a parallel with the Auchan group, which also belongs to the Mulliez galaxy. After several years of record dividends, the brand has just announced a major social plan. Oise is also affected by these job cuts. The CFDT therefore calls on shareholders to “give up these one billion euros of indecent dividends” For “prepare for the future of the company“.
