1. You were :
Very satisfied | no | |
Satisfied | no | |
Not satisfied | yes |
of your presence among us during the 1999 grape harvests ?
Since October 8, date of the acknowledgment of reception of my first letter, you have to consider the hypothesis of the previous years. Failing to do so, you divert the inquiry and try to minimize facts. If necessary, a judicial inquiry will restore them.
2. Did you witness any abnormal behavior towards the other grape pickers?
On behalf of the staff of the estate | Yes | |
On behalf of the other grape pickers | Yes |
3. Did you attend scenes in which someone was knocked over
against their will into the grapes on the sorting tables or into the trucks
? Yes
Same remark : if the Vineyard Manager and the foremen
have been questioned, they should have said that sometimes the victims were
fetched in the vines, and dragged to the truck where they were violently thrown
in, then some of their clothes were taken off, they were threatened to be "striped
off", and grapes were crushed on their face and elsewhere. Or the Director would
not have taken into account my registered letters ? And / or Mr Director, did
you really oversee the person who drew up this questionnaire?
If the conclusions of this questionnaire do not state the facts I incriminated,
it would involve the penal liability of those in charge, for complicity of violence
and\or no-denunciation of violence, attempt to hide the truth and obstruction
to justice.
4. Did you witness these scenes repeatedly ?
Yes
If yes, how many times ?
5. Did you undergo such bullying or ragging ? Yes
5A. If yes, how many times ?
Relate the episodes <= It seems that one does not really try, in spite of
my warnings, to get a detailed account from the victims.
6. This kind of behavior affected particularly :
Men | yes | no | |
Women | yes | no |
6A. correct question : were the women entitled to a particular
treatment ?
Answer Yes : bunch
of grapes into the blouse or not , etc.
7. Did you witness damage to private property (clothes or
other) belonging to grape pickers? yes / no
It would be quite surprising that those who indulge
in damage commit them in public : the steering of my scooter was bended the
last day, quite by chance... As for the cycle punctured last year, it occurred
as accidentally the same day than the thefts in cars.
8. In which manner do you think that some of the employees of the estate behaved towards the seasonal grape pickers :
correct | no | ||
rude | yes | ||
agressive | yes | ||
humiliating | yes | ||
hurtful | yes | ||
rough | yes |
9. You were subordinate to a foreman : do you have the feeling that
he was fair in his behavior ? | yes | ||
he was pleasant ? | yes | ||
he was not severe enough ? | no | ||
he was severe ? | no | ||
he was very severe ? | no |
