Eight days after a first letter addressed to the elected officials of the French Tennis Federation (FFT) and its president Gilles Moretton, a second, anonymous, was sent. This letter – published by L’Equipe this Saturday and which Le Figaro was able to obtain – once again mentions “employees in distress”. The latter was signed by around a hundred employees and anonymously.
“Some are under chemical treatment to try to regain the strength to move forward, others are just trying to quickly leave this house but the negotiations are fruitless while these employees are unable to return to the premises. When will we react?, it is also specified in this second letter. The climate is such that we no longer dare to express ourselves freely for fear of reprisals. But we do not want to remain silent because that would mean losing our dignity,” point out the employees in the letter.
These “employees in distress” even announce “150 departures out of 400 employees in three years, unheard of”, before speaking of “injustices”, “lack of recognition” and “people crying in the corridors”. “The situation is not improving and the alert must be made before a tragedy occurs. It’s up to you, at the CSE, to make these problems which are widely shared with you heard but which we can no longer silence because our mental health, or even our health at all, is at stake,” conclude the editors of this anonymous letter. The letter addressed to the FFT managers mentions, as in the first sent, the situation of the employee on sick leave.
