A voluntary death that raises questions, even triggering the opening of an internal investigation.
An employee at the East Hospital Group of the Hospices Civils de Lyon committed suicide at her home, the Sud Santé union announced on Tuesday.
According to her press release, the deceased, an administrative agent, "had encountered difficulties with her employer for many years".
The union also calls into question the "pressures" suffered by this employee in difficulty at work.
An investigation was opened by the hospital.
“This agent, following a service accident, found himself confronted with a deaf administration.
She has chained endless expertises and second opinions, unsuitable positions putting her in precariousness and an uncertain future on the professional level, "adds the union, denouncing" dysfunctions of the administration, occupational medicine, management, which push agents to commit the irreparable ”.
"Sustained support"
"The agent in question has benefited for several years from sustained, specific and concerted support from occupational medicine, the human resources department and staff representatives," said the HCL management for its part.
The health, safety and working conditions committee (CHSCT), meeting on Tuesday, validated the opening of an investigation involving trade unions and occupational medicine.
"The objective is to analyze the circumstances of this dramatic event and to improve, if necessary, all the actions and systems existing at the HCLs to identify, prevent and support professionals in difficulty", specifies the management.
SUD Santé has requested the use of an expertise but this proposal "was not taken up by the CHSCT", according to management.
According to SUD, the director of the Hospital Group refused to put it to the vote.
“It was an authoritative decision.
He refused, period ”, indignant Eric Moglioni, deputy secretary of the union, who denounces an“ unacceptable hindrance ”.
