On the first day of negotiations, facilitated by the Directorate of Economy, Employment, Labor and Solidarity (DEETS), EDF-PEI employees finally chose to respond to the call of the FE-CGTG and go on strike. The reason was management’s failure to comply with the End of Conflict Agreement Protocol of February 17, 2023. According to the union, three engines have already been shut down.
The delay did not last long. From the first day of official negotiations, the standoff began and EDF-PEI agents chose to strike. According to the FE-CGTG, management is not respecting the end-of-conflict protocol of February 17, 2023.
The protocol established that an assessment of the application of the amendment to the tripartite agreement of October 22, 2014 would be carried out and that management would undertake to correct any discrepancy by awarding NR outside the quota with retroactive effect.
19 months after the signing of the end-of-conflict agreement, the management of EDF-PEI refuses to submit the agreed balance sheet.
The union therefore demands the immediate production of this report and the career corrections that result from it. Despite this standoff, negotiations are continuing at DEETS.
According to the union, the first engine shutdowns have begun. EDF-PEI has 12 engines in total. Eight were running today. Three engines are reportedly shut down, so five remain in operation. Finally, EDF-PEI management announced in a press release that 24,000 customers were without electricity this evening.
