SFR will be on the wagon. The operator continues to lose customers and money should experience an unprecedented social plan next year. According to a source close to the case, management has announced to the trade unions at least 5,000 job cuts across the group. This is more than a third of the total workforce (14,500 employees around).
According to our information, one of the operator’s union red square even mentions 5000 deletes a minimum, mainly in the CDI.
This clear cut is not a surprise. We said, SFR continues through financial and commercial difficulties. But so far Altice, the parent company, was required by an agreement on job retention following the acquisition of the operator. This agreement, which conditioned the short buyout until 2017, the social plan will be realized next year, probably after the presidential elections.
In June, Patrick Drahi, head of Altice already announced color. With 14,500 employees, SFR is “overstaffed” he said. “Today we are in a situation where people know that the guarantee stops in a year. It’s a bit like Darty when you have a warranty of three years. After three years, the machine wash fails: it is how we pay They know we’re overstaffed “said the leader from the United States, reports AFP
This statement strongly resembled enough to.. future promise of redundancies in the French operator. Especially since according to Patrick Drahi, all competitors “have laid tower arm,” that due to very strong competition “at a time when we sell for 1 euro per month subscriptions.”
However, according to the unions, Patrick Drahi has clearly not expected this due to “organize things.” In 18 months, about 1,200 employees left the group suddenly of “individual departures” denounces the CFDT.
The CGT reports for its pressure on the mobility of internal staff with consequent departures more or less forced as conventional failures.
This time, SFR thus increase to a whole other level … Contacted by us, SFR has not commented on this information.
