Negotiations and further mobilisations

France

Pay, purchasing power, pensions and civil service status will all be on the agenda of forthcoming negotiations between public sector unions and the government.

The FO civil service federation also criticised the government for refusing to protect public sector pay against inflation and putting more emphasis on individual and performance-related pay increases. The CFDT civil service federation also attacked the government for failing to respond to key union demands.

The public service federations, FSP-UGT, FSAP-CCOO and CSI-CSIF are planning to organise further demonstrations of their members in the state administration in September to maintain support for their demands for better pay and more staff. The unions argue that in a period of economic difficulties the public services play a key role and it is important to ensure that workers in public administration don't see their pay fall further behind the national average. The unions want to see more agreements signed like the new framework agreement covering workers in the public employment service. This
