An industrial dispute at the logistics centre of H&M in le Bourget that started already on 5 November with a strike has not been solved yet. The Court has rejected the demands of the management to end a blockade by a picket line of strikers. The protest of the workers is against a downgrading of their working conditions. They also fear the transfer of their work to a Belgian subsidiary. After interventions from the local government a round table has been initiated.
