Amadou Seck cannot hold back his tears at the mention of his story. Employed for nearly 20 years at PSA (now Stellantis), he is in open conflict with his former employer for unfair dismissal. The two parties had an appointment at the beginning of the week at the industrial tribunal of Poissy (Yvelines).

He joined the automotive group as a temporary worker in 1999 and was hired in June 2002 at the Aulnay-sous-Bois site (Seine-Saint-Denis). Brilliant despite a limited academic background, this painter-retoucher quickly integrated the Multi-Site Launch Unit (UML) program assigned to prototypes. He will discover travel, including abroad, and climb the ladder. "I was quickly taken off the chain, my superiors said of me that I learned quickly, simply with my eyes," says the person concerned.

Except that the fairy tale of the one who claims to be "born in a box" turns into a nightmare at the closure of the Aulnay site at the end of 2013. He was assigned to that of Poissy where his problems began. This is in any case his version, defended in court by his lawyer. "Mr. Seck has been subjected to continuous harassment, with despicable and unacceptable remarks such as: Go back on your coconut tree, you are not at home here... says Marie-Pierre Hauville. He was pressured to resign with daily humiliations. »

"Mr. Seck's allegations are not based on anything"

Since his dismissal in mid-July 2021, the 49-year-old father, who lives in Mantes-la-Jolie, has made three stays in hospital for depression.

The former PSA employee claims more than 400,000 euros in damages and damages. He is supported by former colleagues, including in the upper echelons of the brand. A project manager at the Rennes site (Ille-et-Vilaine) signed a letter in which he said that Mr. Seck "was exploited." "Yes, I was treated like a slave," he confirms, adding that even his locker with his personal belongings was emptied in his absence.

Stellantis presents a completely different version. "PSA advocates diversity and in all this case, you will not find any document confirming what has been said or read, pleads Maud Fauchon, the lawyer of the car brand. Mr. Seck's allegations are not based on anything, it is hot air. »

On the contrary, the council reports four disciplinary sanctions between 2014 and 2021 and seven testimonies from colleagues attesting to verbal assaults by Amadou Seck. "He terrorized them to the point that they were ready to go on strike," she said. Society could not stand by and do nothing. The judgment has been reserved for September 4.
