July 3 will be the summary proceedings at the regional court of Paris within the framework of the charges pressed by Uni Europa, the European trade union federation, the CGT, the French trade union, and Unite, the British union. They are filing for “ManpowerGroup’s management obstructing to the establishment of a European Works Council, voluntary and fraudulently causing the introduction of a Special Negotiating Body (SNB) to fail.”
Facts. In their summons, the plaintiffs write that, on May 28, 2013, the CGT and the three Italian federations, Filcams-CGIL, Fisacat-CISL and Uiltucs-UIL issued an official request for the establishment of a European Works Council at Manpower France, which was followed by a similar request by employee representatives in 7 countries – orchestrated by Uni Europa.
