Grève de la faim : Meryem Mehdi, une cadre supérieure abusivement licenciée par British Gas est en danger de mort


Au 22e jour de sa grève de la faim, Meryem Mehdi, une Algérienne licenciée abusivement par une filiale de la multinationale British Gas, où elle exerçait comme cadre supérieure à Hassi Messaoud, souffre d’une détérioration avancée de son état physique et moral. Son évacuation hier à l’hôpital par la Protection civile s’est effectuée dans des conditions critiques. «Elle se trouvait dans un état  comateux», ont indiqué à la presse des syndicalistes constitutifs du comité de soutien de la gréviste.

Selon le SNAPAP, s’exprimant sur la base de rapports médicaux, Mme Mehdi souffre d’une chute de tension artérielle, d’hypoglycémie, de perte de poids de près de 40 %, de troubles de l’appareil urinaire, de difficultés respiratoires et de fatigue extrême due à l’anémie.

Le comité de femmes SNAPAP, ajoute le communiqué, «tient comme 1er responsable la direction générale de British Gas ainsi que les autorités algériennes dans le cas du décès de la gréviste».

Comme il dénonce «le refus du directeur général de British Gas à Alger d’accepter les représentants du comité de soutien des travailleurs algériens comme médiateurs».

Le comité de femmes SNAPAP lance un nouvel appel à la mobilisation des membres du comité de soutien, invités à manifester massivement leur opposition au comportement inhumain des dirigeants de British Gas.

"Ms. Meryem was hired on 15 May 2007 as administration and operations coordinator at our office in Hassi Messaoud. Our working relationship with her had ceased on 6 November 2009. She had been our employee for two and-a-half years.

We offered this position to Ms Mehdi. Ms Mehdi decided to refuse the new position and also an offer of compensation in case of refusal on her part amounting to over 600,000 Algerian dinars (60m centimes). She asked for 20,000,000 Algerian dinars (2bn centimes) in compensation, what British Gas Algeria found unrealistic and unacceptable. Ms Mehdi refused to work under the new regime of work .Therefore her employment had been terminated. Reply | Citer | Citer

Following that hearing, the labour inspection of Hassi Messaoud had notified that the dispute should be settled by the Algerian justice and the case should be referred to the competent court. The exact date of the hearing had not yet been communicated to us.

"Nevertheless, Ms Mehdi had since decided on her own not to pursue the legal means she had herself initiated. Instead, she decided to start a hunger strike. Her decision to pursue such an action had generated media coverage.

British Gas Algeria wishes to find a just solution to this dispute and we are totally committed to do so through legal and appropriate channels. "
