Carrefour Monaco staff stage walkout ahead of planned strike action
Workers at the Monaco hypermarket downed tools for two hours on Friday, with a full strike called for Saturday over profit-sharing disputes.
Staff at Carrefour Monaco staged an unexpected walkout on Friday afternoon, walking off the job between midday and 2pm in a dispute over profit-sharing arrangements.
The two-hour work stoppage comes just 24 hours before a planned strike on Saturday, as negotiations between employees and Carrefour management remain deadlocked. Union representatives are maintaining their call for full strike action this weekend.
The industrial action centres on disagreements over employee profit-sharing and participation bonuses, with workers and management unable to reach agreement on the terms. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions at the Monaco hypermarket over staff compensation packages.
Saturday's planned strike could potentially disrupt shopping services at the popular retail outlet, which serves both Monaco residents and visitors from the surrounding region.
