Le casse-tête de Nestlé face à une employée réfractaire

Accusé de harcèlement, Nestlé réfute en bloc les accusations de son ex-cadre Yasmine Motarjemi. Au tribunal, ses dirigeants ont dépeint une femme réticente au fonctionnement et à la culture de l’entreprise

Avec un même discours et un seul son de cloche, quatre dirigeants du groupe Nestlé ont défilé mercredi, cinq heures durant, à la barre de la Chambre patrimoniale cantonale de Lausanne. Ils ont répondu à la plainte civile pour harcèlement moral et psychologique déposée par Yasmine Motarjemi, ex-cheffe de la sécurité alimentaire de la multinationale.

Le message délivré est clair: Nestlé, dans cette affaire, n’a rien à se reprocher. Devant un public cinq fois plus nombreux que lors de la déposition de la demanderesse, le 1er décembre, et sous la garde de deux policiers armés, se sont exprimés Paul Bulcke, le patron de Nestlé, Jean-Marc Duvoisin, ex-chef des ressources humaines et actuel patron de Nespresso, Francisco Castañer, qui occupait jusqu’en 2010 des responsabilités administratives et José Lopez, ancien directeur opérationnel.

Détendus, souriants, l’attitude des hommes de Nestlé contrastait caricaturalement avec la mine sombre de Yasmine Motarjemi.

Udupi: Meet Nik Gugger, an orphan from Udipi, who has now emerged as Switzerland's Member of Parliament and social entrepreneur. Born in Udipi, Karnataka, Gugger was abandoned by his biological parents almost four decades ago. He is the first Indian-origin and youngest MP in Switzerland

On May 1, 1970, a lady delivered a baby boy in Basel Mission hospital of Udupi. However, due to unknown reason, the mother deserted her baby and fled the hospital.

Later, the baby was adopted by a German Missionary couple, Fritz Gugger and Elizabeth Gugger, who used to run an orphanage in Thalassery of Kannur district of Kerala. After four years, Guggers went back to the native country of Switzerland.

However, he is hesitant to find out his biological mother. "'No mother will abandon her child without a strong reason. If I meet my mother now it will be shock to her" says Gugger, who believes in destiny.

Gugger was sworn in as member of Swiss National Council in Bern in November this year. He has been elected as a candidate of the Evangelical Peoples Party. He is one of the youngest members in Swiss Parliment.

German woman meets biological mother in Gumla after 27 years

K A Gupta | Dec 13, 2015, 10.55 PM IST

Gumla: In a fairytale of sorts, a 27-year-old Indian-born German woman travelled 7,000 km to the tribal heartland of Gumla to meet her biological mother after 27 years. It was an emotional reunion for Sarika Kratz - a psychology student living in Dusseldorf - and her mother as the two met privately at an undisclosed location on Sunday.

"I am very happy to meet my mother. She is very nice. I have been impressed by her," she told TOI. The meeting point of Kratz and her mother, a tribal woman now in her fifties, was kept under wraps respecting the latter's wish.

The mother, who had given up Kratz to the Missionaries of Charity 27 winters ago identified her lost child from the latter's photographs. "She must continue her study with zeal and not think about me only," the mother said.
