> “Internmarché is a French company and does not want to automatically invest in bilingualism for just its Brussels and two Dutch-speaking stores. The consequence: workers are required to print and stick labels on each Intermarché brand product, individually, and in a chaotic work organisation,” the CNE complained.
TIL there’s Intermarché stores in Brussels.
Many Polish/Chinese… stores do it like this.
I can understand they are unhappy because of the changes and the disorganisation when doing changes.
On the other hand…I am not sure those facts deserve a strike. Except if they have taken this change as an opportunity to improve current-prior conditions. But that is completely different than the “reasons” exposed.
I don’t think a worker must be informed of certain decisions, specially if this doesn’t concern their daily jobs.
Don’t misinterpreted my words: transparency is the ideal. However, I don’t think to get on strike just because my company has been bought for another.
I would like to be in the shoes of the strikers, but I feel there is something I am missing about this. 🤔
My carrefour cliseby became an intermarche. It’s reaaally weird how I recognise almost none of their products, and they all come with French flags. I mean, Carrefour is also French but their products were often local Belgian and decently bilongual.
