Nine days after left angry, road transport unions and employers are found Thursday morning to resume the dialogue, a necessary first step before the possible resumption of wage negotiations.
Since January 18, the Inter (CGT, FO, CFTC, CFE-CGC) multiplies the filter blockages and barriers to influence employers. She was joined on Wednesday for a day by the CFDT, the first union of the road sector.
The reunion will take place at 10:00 at the headquarters of Direccte Ile-de-France in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint -Denis), near Paris.
This is an opportunity to “pick up the thread of dialogue and to have patrons in front of us, we had the impression of having lost” slips Jerome Truth, the general secretary of the CGT Transport.
But before the resumption of talks, doubt or pessimism seems to gain the ranks of the Inter.
“We are in a state of mind want to negotiate. Now, it takes two to negotiate, “notes Patrice Clos (FO), eager to resume talks first.
” We hope they will start as soon as possible, because ” we can not remain in a situation where you have guys who are on strike, “union leader launches.

She had entered a “admission of failure”, in the words of the FNTR main employers chamber of industry .
On Wednesday, the CFDT Transportation, first union of the profession, organized several blocks operations to oil depots, industrial sites and some roads. Prior to “suspend” its work in the afternoon, “the time of negotiation”
-. ‘Unrealistic requirements’ –
“The CFDT notes that this meeting try to re-engage the fundamentals of social dialogue that have been undermined for many years, “she said in a statement.
And to justify the removal of dams” the complaint raised by the professional organizations that require not to be negotiated under pressure “.
The Inter could also be tempted to put his motion parentheses, at least a few days.
The negotiations stumble mainly on the issue of conventional minima. The unions unanimously call for a revaluation of 5% for all coefficients. Employers’ federations will not go beyond 2%, arguing that this figure is “consistent with what is signed in business”
“unrealistic requirements” and “disconnected from economic realities.”: employers did not mince his words against the unions, which also demand the introduction of a 13th month and disease control deficiency.
The entrepreneurs are willing to revisit the pay, they argue, but without focusing solely on salary scales.
They propose “to open sites” on the classification of occupations, changes in social protection and the adaptation of the vocational training in the sector, recall three employers’ organizations (FNTR, and UNOSTRA TLF) in a statement.
On the side of UR, which represents SMEs road transport Thursday resumption of dialogue should serve to “lay the foundations for future inclusive negotiations to address issues.”
The unions will they play the game? Not sure if we are to believe their latest statements.
“We expect to negotiate our demands,” Thierry Douine installment, the chairman of the CFTC Transport.
” When we have done that meeting, I could tell you if it was a meeting to really move “things, he said. “I do not know what is expected. We wait, we wait, we wait, we make it last. But the pleasure is not so good” in such a situation, he laments.
