Overview
- The newspaper did not publish in print or online on September 15 after printing employees walked out on the day marking its 80th year.
- The CSNT-CGT union hung a banner reading “1945–2025 Mort de Nice-Matin” and blamed majority owner Xavier Niel for aggressive cost-cutting.
- A planned joint printing center with La Provence in Vitrolles is the central concern, which workers view as a delocalisation of production.
- Chief executive Simon Perrot acknowledged and regretted the non-publication and said dialogue with union representatives continues, noting earlier that the group is losing money.
- The action follows two March stoppages that also halted distribution over the printing plan and complaints about deteriorating working conditions.
