:19:01
to defend the vital interests
of all employees,
:19:05
and duly empowered
representatives of the workers
:19:09
are entering into sensitive
negotiations with management,
:19:13
this is a bad blow on the part
of an irresponsible minority.
:19:18
The CGT condemns their actions.
:19:25
Such troublemakers only serve
the interests of management,
:19:30
who are happy to refuse
to negotiate under duress
:19:34
and to justify their refusal to budge.
:19:39
Listen, I've spent eight hours a day
in this factory for seven years.
:19:45
This morning's events
were caused by a few hotheads
:19:50
who had already been brought
to our attention.
:19:53
Most workers in this factory
are responsible people.
:20:00
Yes, they raised the issue of bonuses.
:20:04
Do you think such a large problem
can be solved
:20:07
by attacking a foreman,
like they did this morning?
:20:12
That worker was part of our union,
:20:15
so we can see
how these troublemakers operate.
:20:22
The problem of the food industry
is very complex.
:20:26
The food industry is being
thoroughly reorganized
:20:32
and is becoming concentrated.
:20:34
In 1968 and 1969, there were
173 mergers and acquisitions.
:20:40
Five giants control
25%/% of the market,
:20:43
while 567 companies have only 6%/% .
:20:49
Management's objective is simple:
:20:52
To set up one or two giants in each sector
with a turnover of one billion francs.
