Employees of SFR, a major French telecommunications operator, are taking legal action against Bouygues Telecom, Free, and Orange—the three companies that have acquired parts of SFR—for not providing enough information about the implications of the acquisition. The social and economic committees (CSE), which represent the workers, are demanding access to documents related to potential job cuts, cost savings, and integration plans. These committees claim they are missing key details necessary to understand the full impact of the acquisition of the SFR brand, which is being split among the three acquirers. The CSEs are threatening to impose daily fines of 10,000 euros per document if the information is not provided. The acquisition involves more than 20.3 billion euros and is expected to result in the loss of over 5,000 jobs out of the 8,000 currently employed by the group, according to L'Informé. The CSEs of SFR, SFR Distribution, and Coriolis have already targeted the seller, Altice, and now also the three acquirers, who have formed a consortium to share a large part of SFR. The CSEs are requesting access to agreements between the companies, cost models for integration, and plans for reducing the number of suppliers. They also want to know the financial commitments related to social responsibilities and the number of jobs that might be cut by department and location. The management of SFR and Altice France claims they have already provided over 500 answers to questions and shared nearly 600 documents, along with 2,000 pages from the consortium. They have also agreed to extend the consultation period until October 6 and promise to update progress every 15 days. However, the CSEs remain concerned about the lack of clear plans to support employees affected by the changes. They argue that no specific measures have been put in place to prevent job losses or assist those who may be affected, despite the potential for significant social disruption. The uncertainty surrounding the acquisition is also affecting ERT Technologies, a subsidiary of SFR specializing in telecom networks. Its 1,300 employees are not included in the acquisition and have their own CSE, which has criticized the lack of transparency and is preparing legal action unless the management provides a clear response soon. The situation highlights the growing anxiety among SFR employees and their representatives, who are seeking more guarantees and clearer information about the future of their jobs and the company’s plans.
