These elections, held in November 2023, saw FO win a large majority with 83% of the vote, representing 10 seats out of 12 for a company with fewer than 500 employees. The CGT, contesting this result, called in a private detective to monitor the activities of FO&#8217;s elected representatives and look for evidence of pressure on employees. The context is inevitably very tense and must be approached with caution.<\/p><p>The private detective agency commissioned to carry out the surveillance of members of the Force Ouvri\u00e8re group over the course of a day with the aim of finding evidence. The CGT fully accepts this practice. It believes that members of the opposing union put pressure on employees in order to obtain an overwhelming majority.<\/p><p>The purpose of producing a private investigator&#8217;s report is therefore to have the election annulled by providing a body of evidence tending to prove the deception. The shadowing took place on the second day of the election, as the union suspected an attempt at fraud on the part of FO and possible collusion between certain members, due to the introduction of an electronic ballot.<\/p><p>The private investigation report, which is admissible evidence in court, confirms that at least one representative went to the home of another voter. The Force Ouvri\u00e8re union defended itself by arguing that it was merely giving him luncheon vouchers.<\/p><p>The Force Ouvri\u00e8re unionist group vigorously contests this practice, which constitutes a disproportionate breach of privacy, as the private detectives followed the union representatives to their homes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8592652 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8592652\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agora-detectives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/syndicats.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4996\" alt=\"Syndicats\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agora-detectives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/syndicats.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.agora-detectives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/syndicats-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.agora-detectives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/syndicats-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4f9da5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4f9da5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Was hiring a private detective the right solution in this context?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a07b000 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a07b000\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Private investigation is a liberal profession.
