Some 200 people gathered to demand better wages and the repeal of the pension law. It was impossible to enter the store, but the employees who arrived on site before the attempted occupation were present on the store shelves.
Sandwiches were distributed to allow protesters to stay in front of the store "until the store closes at 20:30 p.m.," a spokeswoman for the CGT said. This rally comes a month after the occupation of an Auchan store in the business district of La Défense.
