The employees of Ax Aide, a personal services company, find themselves in a critical situation. Although deprived of salaries after the sudden closure of their business, they are not yet officially laid off. To meet their essential needs, a solidarity movement was created at the Marcadieu market, where foodstuffs are harvested. This initiative provides valuable assistance to workers affected by this crisis, by focusing on community engagement and solidarity.
The impact of the closure of Ax Aide
The closure of the company Ax Aide, specialized inhome help, left its fifty employees in great uncertainty. Overnight, Sandrine, staff representative, and her colleagues were informed that they should no longer go to work without any prior explanation. This situation not only deprived the employees of their usual income but also left them unable to register with France Travail, making any search for a new job more complex.
Deprived of salary, employees turn to solidarity
Faced with the lack of salaries, these home helpers had no other recourse than to seek support wherever they could. A solution presented itself in the form of a collection organized by the Confédération paysanne and the CGT. By mobilizing citizens during the Marcadieu market, baskets filled with bread, seasonal vegetables, eggs and even money were made to help these workers in difficulty.

A surge of solidarity in the market
The food harvest at the Marcadieu market made it possible to provide food baskets to Ax Aide employees. Julie Periguey, who initiated this operation, underlines the success of the collection: “We made 16 baskets last Thursday”. With the help of activists, these baskets provide tangible support to workers’ families, and the money raised helps to further expand this assistance.
Acts of solidarity inspired by everyday life
Manuel Casado of the Peasant Confederation explained the importance of this initiative. Inspired by humanitarian collections organized by charitable associations such as Restos du Cœur, the market has become a gathering point. “It’s an initiative that makes sense for us,” he emphasizes, affirming that these actions bring workers together, whether they are farmers or home helpers.
