SNCF: the agreement on the organization of work suspended the signing of the CGT and SUD – The World

If the CGT and SUD block the draft  agreement,

The end is approaching clap. While the train knew, Tuesday, June 7, its seventh consecutive day of strike, the management of the railway group and four representative trade unions have finally found a compromise on the future enterprise agreement.

C ‘ is 4: 30 pm on the night of Monday to Tuesday, the last negotiators walked out of the room at the headquarters of SNCF Transilien, near the Montparnasse train station in Paris. After two months of intense exchanges, it took nineteen hours of negotiation to reach the end of a text that will govern the work of railwaymen public group from the 1 st of July.

the unions have until June 14 to sign the document.

  • Does this draft agreement will lead to stop the strike?

“There was a time when, according to a famous saying, you have to stop a strike” , said Francois Hollande, President of the Republic on Tuesday in La Voix du Nord .

“There is no reason there strike “, agreed Guillaume Pepy, head of public rail group Tuesday morning on Europe 1. the return to normal could take place on Wednesday 8 and Thursday, June 9

on Tuesday, the SNCF provided that two TGV and TER would roll over three and half the TER and Intercity four. The strikers mobilization rate continued to weaken to 8.5% of employees, but a majority of drivers remained mobilized.

“We went after our mandate and have amended and improved text, says Benjamin Raigneau, the negotiator of the SNCF. There is now a real visibility for our railway on the future social, with all three texts that will govern the railway sector: the foundation decree which will be published soon, the national collective agreement, signed last until Wednesday, and now our company agreement. “

In government, it is more cautious. “We are optimistic, there is an agreement that is not the renewal of the previous agreement, it was very long to get, but the situation remains very fragile,” , says a source close the executive. Involved, how the CGT will welcome the agreement negotiated last night.

  • The CGT and SUD they will sign the draft agreement ?

According to our information, if Gilbert Garrel, the secretary general of the CGT Cheminots, led the negotiation in the meeting room, it was Philip Martinez, the owner of the plant, which was to maneuver. He was the sole interlocutor CGT side and negotiation, that night, was done especially with SNCF, under the gaze of Alain Vidal, Secretary of State for Transport.

Tuesday morning it seemed to assume that the UNSA and CFDT, which represent nearly 40% of railway public group, bring in the day they support the text. A CFDT, a spokesman assured Tuesday that the text was consistent with that negotiated the end of May with the government and a news follow in the day. A UNSA, it does not hide his satisfaction with the text.

At the CGT, the speech was more neutral. The organization “ like to take the time to evaluate the text” , according to a spokesman contacted by Le Monde . “The CGT did not seem to oppose the agreement Tuesday morning, but the situation at the SNCF is unfortunately dependent on the national context on labor law. The strike at the SNCF is the last weapon available to the CGT, the days, plunges into a strategic stalemate “, estimates are we the government.

  • What will happen if the CGT and SUD refuse to sign?

position first group of the union is decisive. With SUD-Rail, which “consulting its structures” , the union can block the deal. Both organizations represent 51.5% of the electorate of the public group, more than the 50% threshold required to denounce an agreement.

However, if the two unions block this text, “there there will be no new negotiations, be warned the government. the agreement reached tonight will not come into force and there will be unilateral measures in the direction of the station. “

Similarly, the Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, waiting to know the position of the two unions before making announcements on future “financial path” group SNCF and measures concerning the debt.

  • what has exactly the draft agreement?

Basically, the discussions were long and picky. “Normal, it affects the daily lives of our agents’ , justifies Mr. Raigneau, the negotiator of the SNCF. According to him, management has provided explanations and technical details of, for example, the inclusion (and offsets that go with it) night work, trips in working time or the legal regime of the controllers, which will remain that of “rolling” and not “sedentary” less advantageous.

Much of the debate has revolved around Article 49, obtained by the CFDT at its direct negotiation with the government in late May . This article “has made foolish the CGT in recent days” says a close to the negotiations. SUD-Rail denounces “The introduction of a derogation which would allow management to question every provision included in the agreement” , ensures Eric Meyer, of the Union.

According to this text, if a local headteacher wishes to derogate from the company agreement to improve its competitiveness by lowering its costs during the renegotiation of an agreement with a region, for example, can the . if a majority of business agreement’s signatories agreed at national level

in other words, if the CGT and SUD-Rail refuse to sign the national agreement business, they will then be on the sidelines and will not oppose local concessions. During negotiations, the unions have only got a small concession. “Before a decision of the signatories to the National Agreement unions, Hotel staff representatives will give their opinion on the draft text. “ says the SNCF. Enough to coax the CGT and SUD-Rail?
