Sébastien Lecornu announced Friday, following a meeting with civil servant unions, the opening of a "rapid" one-month discussion on five projects, one of which will focus on "emergency measures to improve low salaries". "I am opening today a rapid one-month discussion on five projects" which will focus on "emergency measures to improve low salaries", a "structural reform of salary scales", "equal pay" between women and men, the payment of "certain transport costs", the strengthening of the "protection" of injured or threatened agents, and the "protection of the neutrality and independence" of civil servants, details the Prime Minister on X. He will receive the unions again on December 11, after the professional elections in the Civil Service, to “seal progress from mid-December”.

The CFDT joins the call for a public strike on November 17 The CFDT announced in a press release that it would join the call for a strike and public mobilization on November 17 after this meeting in Matignon. “The government still refuses to release adequate budgetary resources to respond to the continued loss of purchasing power of agents,” wrote the third union force in the Civil Service, denouncing proposals which “do not constitute real progress” with “hundreds of thousands of agents” whose basic salary will remain below the minimum wage. For her part, the general secretary of the CGT Sophie Binet deplored announcements “completely out of step” with the demands of public officials.

“Once again, the Prime Minister has made announcements completely out of step with the social urgency of the situation of public officials and with the social anger expressed in the country,” she denounced, speaking on behalf of the public service inter-union.
