A labor dispute turned violent in the Marne region of France, where a business owner and an employee are suspected of intentionally hitting two striking ambulance workers. The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 1st, when the business owner took the wheel of a bus to move it out of the yard, forcing his way through the site. An employee, who was hanging onto the windshield wiper, eventually lost consciousness. A 24-year-old ambulance worker was also hit by a driver who took over from the boss. The business owner was recorded saying, "I think that the next one, before blocking my company, will think twice," in a video of the incident. The two injured employees were hospitalized for a few hours at the CHU in Reims. Sylvain Formoso, the employee who was bumped by the bus, stated, "I was lucky because I was able to grab onto the windshield wiper and I was able to move to the side. Otherwise, I really saw my death. It shocked me, I did not expect the boss to run me over." The other injured, a 24-year-old ambulance worker, described the incident as happening very quickly, saying, "I fell, I have bruises on my ankle and back. But by the time I realized, my colleague helped me up, etc. And the man left to do his rounds as if nothing had happened." The boss and the driver were arrested on the spot and placed in custody for violence with weapons, but were released in the evening. According to the CFDT, the attempt to break the strike triggered the incident. The management is alleged to have hired drivers for the day to replace striking workers. Jean-Marie Hommet, secretary of the CFDT Transports of the Marne, explained, "Yesterday morning, two drivers arrived with contracts dated yesterday. We are not allowed to hire employees or temporary workers to replace strikers. Therefore, it is true that these drivers were prevented from leaving." The CFDT wants to file a complaint by becoming a civil party.
