Suicides at France Telecom: four new indictments – TF1

Between 2008 and 2009, 35 employees of France Telecom have committed suicide. The survey of judges, opened in spring 2010, comes to an end according to sources close the file. Three executives from France Telecom (now Orange) were indicted for complicity bullying this week. A fourth person was also to be indicted of the same charge on Friday night, said a source familiar with the matter.

According to the information of the World, it would Nathalie Boulanger, former director of the territorial actions, Jacques Moulin, a former regional director of the East of France and Huy-Paitrck Cherouvrier, former Director of Human Resources France. The fourth person would be worried on Friday Brigitte Dumont, former head of the ACT program. The daily also confirms that the hearings would mark the end of the statement on this issue.

This survey has earned the former boss of France Telecom, Didier Lombard, to be indicted for harassment since July 2012. He had left the operational management of the group March 2010. The group itself has continued since that date, a new measure for the CAC 40. A first company paving the way in the eyes of lawyers, to the recognition of an “institutional harassment”. The former No.2 Didier Lombard, Mr. Wenes, and the former director of human resources, Olivier Barberot are also indicted.

Do not attempt to “minimize their responsibilities”

“It would not take that decision makers find themselves exempt from their responsibilities by setting because of zealous servants, “warned Friday the lawyer for the CFE-CGC and UNSA unions, Mr. Frederic Benoist. He said fears that “recent indictments will give hope to the three leaders” pursued that might be tempted to “minimize their responsibilities.”

According to the unions and management, 35 suicides of company employees occurred in 2008 and 2009. They intervened in the context of reorganization the company and reduction of staff composed largely of public servants, after opening the market to competition. The company, engaged in restructuring, notably suppressed 22,000 jobs between 2006 and 2008 and made 10,000 job changes during the same period.
