Simple Standard Confidentiality Clause

Employees of the restoring again without IMA status

Back to square one for employees of the restoration of the Institut du Monde Arabe. After two weeks of work, strike, and many verbal clashes with the management team of the Nouri IMA, here they are again without work, and especially no status.

How did we get here?

In February 2007, Mr Dominique Baudis , former Mayor of Toulouse, former President APF, was elected to the Institut du Monde Arabe.

-On 1 March 2007, he denounced the contract to provide service restaurant then in place, Yara Prestige, for no good reason.

ensues a public tender not in accordance with ACT supposed to regulate (according to all the experts interviewed on the subject), in which there is likely only one candidate: Nour. In addition

of favoritism excessive for an institution run largely by public funds , Nour now decided not to resume any of the 35 employees on site, while the Act and the Code of Labour on him imposes.

Mr Baudis and then intervenes to sign a contract to Nour in which he can "make his case" the application of article L122-12, which requires the resumption of employees in this case.

consequences of these "little arrangements between friends": six months of hell to 35 employees of private rights, wages and status, forced to take the case to justice, despite all the attempts of Nour and the IMA preventing the recurrence of employees, justice condemns NOUR the payment of wage arrears in the form of provisions, as well as the resumption of employment contracts.

What is serious in this story, in addition to the irresponsible attitude of Caterer NOUR, it is mainly the handling methods of Mr Dominique Baudis: he believes himself above the law?

Indeed, the management of the IMA did not it allowed too many freedoms in a public institution operated primarily by public funds and under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

- a call for tenders for the provision of restoring the Institut du Monde Arabe, corresponding to a market estimated at 30 million euros, not in accordance with Laws that govern it.

- a call for tenders comprising a single candidate, of Nour.

- the signing of a contract between the IMA and Nour allowing it not to apply the provisions of the Labor Code, while Mr Baudis knew from the beginning that this was illegal, since it identified itself in his letters that the Act imposed a resumption of employees leaving by the buyer.

All this is even more serious than other bids are launched as we speak by the Institut du Monde Arabe, and problems between employees of the restaurant and catering NOUR are far from be resolved ...
