Question 1670 — businesses

Summary

Ms. Danielle Simonnet questions the Minister of Labor and Employment about the disguised social plan of the company ID Logistics in Marseille. Since October 15, 2024, employees of Amazon's subcontractor in Marseille, the company ID Logistics, have been on strike due to what is known as a disguised social plan following the closure of one of its main sites in Madrague-Ville in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille. Indeed, no less 10,000 to 21,000 packages pass through this warehouse managed by 47 employees every day, destined for Marseille and surrounding communities. However, Amazon has decided not to renew its contract with the subcontracting company. The closure of the warehouse was initially scheduled for Wednesday October 30, but the American multinational stopped the sending of its packages on the previous Friday, causing the site to be completely closed. of ID Logistics, without it having implemented a reclassification project or a job protection plan (PSE) in accordance with the rules. Indeed, the conditions proposed by management to employees are unrealistic and unacceptable: while many of them have been working since the opening of the site in October 2021, ID Logistics management is offering them a transfer 140 kilometers away to the small town of Bollène (Vaucluse). If they refuse, it is nothing more and nothing less than a dismissal for disciplinary reasons - in this case, for abandonment of position - which threatens them because of a mobility clause present in the employees' contract that management invokes. But these conditions are absolutely unthinkable for employees who are already well established in Marseille, as one of them testifies in the newspaper L'Humanité on October 29, 2024: “I have children downstairs. age, who were born in Marseille and have just started school, I have no intention of taking them out of school. Finding accommodation, in such a short time, in a place to start from scratch is mission impossible. This offer is not realistic and ID Logistics knows it very well. » In reality, the Amazon service provider does a poor job of masking its desire not to pay severance pay since its proposed assignment does not concerns only 38 positions for 47 employees on the job who were only notified two months before the decision. Above all, a report issued by the Bouches-du-Rhône labor inspectorate on October 20 found that the mobility clause present in the employees' contract was not applicable since the assignment site is a secondary establishment of the company ID Logistics, not of the company ID Selective 3, one of its subsidiaries, as the one located in Madrague-Ville. The report concludes that “the original establishment, namely ID Logistics de Marseille, therefore belongs to a different company from the Bollène establishment. » Finally, how can the company justify its refusal to offer paid solutions for employees when it saw its turnover increase by 20% in the third quarter of 2024, when its share price on the Paris stock exchange increased by 10 % and when the fortune of its founding CEO is estimated at 1.3 billion euros? The Marseille president of the Association for the Defense of Subcontractors and Transport Deliverers France (ADSTTF), Mr. Hervé Street, who supports the strikers, is right to mention a disguised economic dismissal by the company ID Logistics due to an organized system of subcontracting in cascade. This system has no other objective than the search for profit through the least cost by making workers increasingly precarious and exposing them to working conditions that are impossible to maintain. She therefore asks him if the services of the General Directorate of Labor (DGT) will be mobilized in order to verify that the company ID Logistics is not exempt from the obligation to formulate an employment protection plan (PSE) as soon as contracts of more than nine people over a period of 30 days are broken by the employer and what measures the ministry intends to take to combat cascading subcontracting.
