At the end of November 2024, a Economic Social Plan (PSE) has been announced to employees of Forviamanufacturer of auto parts well established at Mew (Oise). In total, 110 stations are affected by this PSE, most of them in the research center. So for two months, the unions have been standing against this project, and will try everything to save as many jobs as possible and negotiate satisfactory departure conditions.
After a first day of disengagement organized Tuesday, January 21 on the initiative of the CGT, this time it was a call for strike which was launched by four unions, UNSA, FO, CFE-CGC and CFTC, this Monday, February 3 From 9 a.m. In front of the factory, rue Émile-Zola,, nearly 150 employees were gathered this Monday morning. “”We asked people to go out to show (management) that not everyone agrees», Says Claire Ménard, UNSA delegate.

Experienced employees concerned by the PSE
For unions, this PSE which is more like a relocation – The positions will meet in Spain, Germany or even India – is a huge loss of skills for the company. “”On most deleted positions, they are employees that are between 20 and 35 years of experience», Note Claire Ménard. And for some, finding work will not be easy behind.
Mansuy Poirel has 28 years of seniority in the company. At 52, he entered the age group where finding a job is more complicated. “”We are offered support by a cabinet, I am in the CV stagehe says. I also try to replace myself. But it’s not at all a good time, with all the PSE in progress. Or you have to return on an assembly line.“A solution that does not envisage the fiftieth anniversary which was”trainee here thirty years agoAnd who has climbed the ladder one by one, to arrive at the PPIC. “”This is all that is laboratory, metrology, assembly of partshe specifies. We work in the tenth of a millimeter, therefore a certain precision, we have a specificity. “
“A real misunderstanding”
Same bell for Anass Tijani, whose role is to set up production lines for new projects in factories. In its branch, two out of four stations must jump. “”There is a real misunderstanding, we do not understand how the next projects will be donehe laments.

Between dialogue in different languages, jet lag, plane tickets to get there … It is very difficult to explain.For his part, the engineer knows that he will be able to find work whatever happens. But well established in the Méru sector with his family, he does not intend to be reclassified several hundred kilometers from here.
