The strike notice at Groupe ADP which had been filed until Sunday evening will be formally lifted on Friday at 6 p.m.
On the first day of the long holidays, Friday, July 8, the employees of the Paris airports voted to lift their strike notice, after having obtained employee revaluations from their management, noted a journalist from the agency France-Presse.
Gathered in general assembly in Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, these employees have ratified a agreement providing for a general increase of 3 % for all ADP group employees, manager of airport facilities. To this increase is added a revaluation of the salary grids and a refresher of the remuneration of some 1,800 people whose wages were lower than the reference level of 2019, according to the details communicated by the CGT.
In 2021, ADP group employees had agreed to reduce their salary to allow the company to go through the crisis caused by the COVVI -19 epidemic – which divided by three the number of customers of Parisian airports in 2020. The group also carried out a voluntary departure plan and committed to the wages to regain their level before the crisis as soon as the effects of its on traffic have dissipated.
Disruptions avoided
Now, certain journeys have already exceeded their level of activity of 2019, in particular the links towards overseas or even those, seasonal, towards the south of Europe. And ADP Group plans to make a profit this year, after losing more than 1.4 billion euros accumulated between 2020 and 2021.
The strike notice which had been initially filed until Sunday evening will be formally lifted on Friday at 6 p.m., said in general assembly the union representative of the CGT-ADP, Daniel Bertone.
The end of the conflict should make it possible to avoid disturbances in airports in the Paris region, who expect tens of thousands of travelers in this first weekend of great summer departures.
Thursday, the prospect of flight cancellations had already moved away due to the signing of an agreement between ADP Group and the company’s firefighters, which also demanded a revaluation. The movement of fire soldiers, started on June 30, was translated last week in the preventive abolition of hundreds of flights at the start or arrival of Roissy, first French airport.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) had imposed these preventive cancellations in the name of security: the reduction in the number of firefighters available had made it necessary to close part of the tracks.
