Question 4456 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Coulomme questions the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior about the fate of the files submitted to the Paris prefecture on several occasions by the Black Vest collective on behalf of undocumented workers on the Arena construction site. On October 17, 2023, undocumented workers went on strike on the Olympic Games construction site at the Adidas Arena in Paris located at Porte de la Chapelle. Negotiations resulted in the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the project managers (3 subcontracting companies) under the aegis of Paris City Hall and the project owner. Through this agreement, the subcontracting companies have undertaken to provide all the documents necessary for the regularization of all those who worked for these companies on a project owner's site, 5 months before October 17, 2023 and 3 months after. Thanks to this agreement, 14 The files were submitted to the Paris prefecture by Mr. Emmanuel Grégoire, at the time first deputy to the Paris City Hall. However, the day after the signing of the agreement which stipulated the continued employment of employees during the processing of their files, the project owner, as well as two of the subcontracting companies, refused access to the site to the workers concerned. These employees who remained without resources for months, lost their accommodation. The Black Vest collective and the CNT-SO union returned to the Arena site twice: December 1, 2023 and February 11, 2024 so that the strikers could, among other things, obtain receipts. On this occasion, the collective managed to obtain the support of Mr. Bernard Thibault, former general secretary of the CGT and co-president of the Monitoring Committee of the Social Charter of the Olympic Games and the files were deposited. Since the files were submitted to the prefecture, only one worker out of the fourteen received an appointment at the prefecture on April 17, 2024. However, the latter never obtained the receipt within the 4 months expected. To date, no other striking Arena worker has received a summons or receipt. However, the 502 CGT strikers who mobilized during the same period all obtained receipts, which raises questions. According to Ms. Rahmani of the CNT-SO union, responsible for monitoring regularization files, the Ministry of the Interior specifically blocked these files. Mr. Emmanuel Grégoire received a similar response from the prefecture. On January 30, 2025, the Black Vest collective resubmitted requests for regularization for these undocumented workers. Today, no one is able to explain the reasons for this blockage. institutional, nor the progress of the files. The situation is untenable for these undocumented workers. He asks him to communicate to him the reasons for these blockages as well as the measures he intends to take to promote the legitimate regularization of these workers.
