In an interview with Le Monde, the former president of the UIMM denies having received severance pay in exchange for his silence. Tension remains between the Medef and the organization.

"With regard to the financial transaction, which was signed and executed but not paid by my silence." Denis Gautier-Sauvagnac, speaking Tuesday in the columns of the World, for the first time since the revelation of the severance package that paid him the UIMM, is bitter.

The former boss of the powerful Union of Industries and metal trades, involved in a case of black box, admits to having touched the UIMM the sum of 1.5 million euros.

But this sum, Gautier-Sauvagnac pounds, is not intended to ensure his silence on the system very opaque black box discovered at the end of last year, which cost him his post. "Since the outbreak of the case, the end of September 2007, I said publicly that I will not say anything. So there was nothing to buy, "he says.

For him, this severance package "marks only the dual recognition of the work done and the hat that I wear for six months by taking on the responsibility of an institutional system, centennial, I have inherited and which I initiated reform ". He added, bitterly: "taking into account the dumpers of avanies hat that won me, I am ready to give in to that wish, with the benefits that accompany it."

The front patronal cracks in the UIMM

Tuesday, the tug-of-war between the Mefef at its "subsidiary" the UIMM continues, despite a meeting between the two organizations Tuesday morning, as "disappointing" by Laurence Parisot. Especially since Frederic Saint-Geours, new boss of the Union, refuses to hand over the national mandates of members of the UIMM to return to the Medef.

But the united front of the UIMM cracks. One of its members, Jean-Paul Béchat, has taken Tuesday morning to another, Michel de Virville, resigned boss of Unedic. The latter would have negotiated severance pay by Denis Gautier-Sauvagnac, granting him the sum of 1.5 million euros. An agreement that Jean-Paul Béchat jure have learned after the fact. "Our trust has been betrayed," he says, asking Michel de Virville to leave the office of the UIMM.

A new voice rose Tuesday calling for more "transparency" in instances employers. And not least, since it is the boss of Renault, Carlos Ghosn. For him, this crisis is an opportunity to "establish greater transparency in the system and restore confidence."
