What if we left it there?
"
This is a strike by personnel on the ground and our effort will aim to ensure that the planes are at most delayed
" and that the movement "
does not prevent you from leaving,
" said Augustin de Romanet at the microphone. from RTL. The group's unions filed a strike notice from July 1 to 5, coinciding with the first weekend of major summer departures. They are asking for the withdrawal of the work contract adaptation plan (PACT), against which the CSE voted on May 21 and which provides for the abolition of certain bonuses. In the event of refusal, employees are liable to dismissal through a job protection plan (PSE).
ADP justified these measures by the need to save money in a context of a pandemic which considerably affected the activity of the group, which is mainly owned by the State.
ADP “
experienced a disaster like never before in the history of airports, 80% of turnover
” lost in 2020, Augustin de Romanet recalled on Tuesday.
Discussions with employees
Stressing that discussions are continuing with employees, the CEO wished employees "
an effort of solidarity, with a red line, no forced dismissals
". The wage cuts will be compensated beyond 7%, promised Augustin de Romanet, affirming that "
88% of our employees will not lose more than 4%
" of their remuneration. Affected like the entire air transport sector by the traffic collapse caused by the health crisis, the ADP group lost 1.17 billion euros in 2020 and committed to reducing its workforce by 11%. "
When traffic resumes, there is no reason why ADP employees do not find the (social) model which is theirs,
" its CEO said on Tuesday.
