the condition of urgency
", the first layoffs having been "
put implemented from the month of January

573 job cuts
"
We receive an end of inadmissibility, the employees are angry," he added.
On the sale of the agencies, no salesperson found a job.
Where is the job saving?
""
I wonder about the existence of an agreement with the public authorities to save Corsair in return for a lifting of the foot on the PSE of TUI.
We had to save Corsair above all, but we were cut off our wings,
”added the trade unionist.
The small Corsair airline, in difficulty, was sold in 2019 by Tui, which retained a minority stake.
In November, Tui agreed to finance the restructuring plan of Corsair to the tune of 126 million euros, "
four times more than the social plan of Tui France today
", enraged Mr. Razkallah.
In Germany, the parent company of TUI France was also carried at arm's length during the health crisis by the state, which gave itself the possibility of increasing up to 25% of the capital if it converts its financial aid in actions.
TUI France's project provides for 573 job cuts and 26 changes to employment contracts, which could lead to 599 redundancies for economic reasons and / or voluntary departures.
It also provides for the closure of the 65 branches of the integrated distribution network, intended to become simple points of sale or to be transferred to third-party networks, as well as the regrouping of employees on a single site.

The court also notes “
that all the measures of the job protection plan are sufficient.
It considers in particular that its cost of 31 million euros appears to be appropriate in view of the financial situation of the TUI group and of the TUI France company which, intervening in tourism, has deteriorated extremely due to the current health crisis
