Yves Rocher/IndustriALL Global Union raises the media profile on a dispute that is pitting dismissed unionized workers against the French cosmetics giant’s Turkey subsidiary, Flormar. Over the summer tensions did not ease between the global union federation IndustriALL Global Union and Yves Rocher. The dispute concerns union claims of anti-union practice by the cosmetics giant’s Turkey subsidiary Flormar (c.f. article No 10711). The French press has started reporting on the workers’ protestations (for the most part female) over dismissals that they argue have been prompted by their decision to join a trade union. In the space of only a few months a third of the newly unionized workers found themselves unemployed. A media campaign was launched in June and latterly an online petition was set up by IndustriALL together with the ‘Sum of Us’ organization calling for the reinstatement of the dismissed workers.
