The strike that has lasted for several weeks in nuclear power plants has ended. A salary agreement was “signed unanimously” Thursday October 27 at the end of consultations within the four representative unions, namely the CGT, FO, the CFDT and the CFE-CGC, announced the management of EDF to the ‘Agency France-Presse.

By taking into account the branch agreement on increases in the electric and gas (IEG) industries signed on October 17, employees will benefit in 2023 from a total revaluation of 4.6 % (2.3 % in the title of the branch agreement and 2.3 % for the EDF agreement). This measure will be supplemented by individual increases from an average of 2.45 %, based on individual performance, accompanied by an exceptional premium in the amount of 2,600 euros gross.

The salary agreement concluded last Friday made it possible to loosen the vice on the social movement which had made oil stain in the nuclear park for several weeks, and which still touched, just before the end of the negotiations, 12 power stations out of 18. The strike caused reductions in electricity production and led to delays on the nuclear fleet work calendar, reviving concerns about possible shortages this winter, in the midst of a European energy crisis. The last center still on strike for wages at the start of the week, that of Dampierre (Loiret), ceased the movement on Wednesday, according to the CGT.
