Compulsory Annual Negotiation Point 2023

The news of the last few weeks within Amadeus has mainly focused on the Mandatory Annual Negotiations. 

The CFDT Amadeus section was the driving force within the intersyndicale in the development of the arguments for requests related to salary increases, proposing, in particular, a minimum amount of uniform increase in order to offset the effects of inflation.

In the midst of Mandatory Annual Negotiations, management unilaterally made a decision on salary policy and declared an end to negotiations on the “remuneration and sharing of added value” aspects and communicated it to all employees. 

Management is however not supposed to ignore article L2242-4 of the Labor Code. “As long as the negotiation mentioned in articles L2242-1 and L2242-2 is in progress, the employer cannot, in the matters dealt with, take unilateral decisions concerning the community of employees, except if the urgency justifies it.”.

The inter-union is not in favor of legal action, therefore, the CFDT is studying the follow up actions against this violation of the loyalty to the NAO.

To date, all the unions’ demands have been rejected. 

Management wants to renegotiate mileage and telecommuting allowances. They are leaning towards the following:

  • A stronger incentive to use “green” means of transport by a substantial disengagement in terms of reimbursement of allowances linked to individual vehicles (removal of zone 2, introduction of a sustainable mobility package, etc.)
  • To abolish the current teleworking monthly flat rate (20+10 €) in favor of a flat rate of 2.60 € per teleworking day.

The CFDT remains mobilized, do not hesitate to send us your comments or suggestions.
