Parisian airport agents are called to go on strike on Tuesday May 21, 2024 to demand, among other things, hiring, the opening of negotiations for a salary increase as well as “homogeneous rewards” for employees mobilized during the Olympic Games. A strike notice was filed by the unions on May 10.
In a press release, the CGT, CFDT, FO and Unsa believe that “staffing remains very insufficient to cope with the increase in traffic and the constantly increasing quality of service requirements.”
No major disruptions expected
The mobilization, which concerns all staff, should be significant but without causing major disruptions in the two main French airport platforms, Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly, according to a union Source interviewed by The Parisian.
The Aéroports de Paris (ADP) unions are demanding “an emergency hiring plan” as well as “the immediate opening of negotiations of the scales with revaluation”. They also ask “a uniform bonus for all ADP agents (voluntary or not / operational or not) working from July 8 to September 15” for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A strike on the day of the ADP general meeting
This strike takes place on the same day as the ADP general meeting, which must ratify the non-renewal of the mandate of the current CEO Augustin de Romanet, whose mission will end after the Olympics. Since 2012, he has chaired the airport group, 50.6% owned by the French state.
“Shareholders – including the State as majority shareholder – are convened in a general meeting to validate decisions which will support the increase in their dividends even if these choices are harmful to employees and for the future of ADP”, write the unions.
They are also calling for a demonstration within the airport, at terminal 2E.
