Overview
- The appellate decision confirms the scrapping of the 2025 PSE that targeted 2,389 job cuts at the retailer.
- Auchan says the ruling addresses procedure only and maintains that neither its economic dismissals nor the reorganization are nullified.
- The CGT, joined by elected CSE representatives, calls the outcome a major win and demands an immediate stop to dismissals and reinstatement of affected staff.
- Most departures have already taken place, with 1,990 employees—over 80% of those impacted—counted as redeployed, in early retirement, or otherwise placed.
- The case follows a September ruling by the Lille administrative court citing consultation and information faults, and it could spur additional claims for compensation before labor courts and renewed scrutiny of redeployment duties across the Mulliez companies.
