Overview

• The investigation follows two suicides and a suicide attempt by employees at La Poste's Lyon mail distribution center in late 2017 and early 2018.
• The judicial inquiry is focused on involuntary manslaughter aggravated by violations of safety obligations and moral harassment.
• Employees involved were on sick leave during a period of significant organizational changes at the Corbas site.
• Workplace inspections highlighted a 'pathogenic' environment, with previous incidents of employee suicides linked to work conditions.
• No charges have been filed yet, but the case adds to La Poste's history of similar accusations in the early 2010s.
