Roissy and Orly airports: around 200 demonstrators, no flight delays

2021-07-03T09:44:37.746Z


The employees, who protest against the wage cuts, continue their movement this Saturday, supervised by the police.


Friday, the protest led to flight delays, 500 demonstrators having blocked travelers at Roissy, then disrupted traffic. The strike against wage cuts for employees of the ADP group, manager of the Paris airports of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly, continues this Saturday but the demonstrators, supervised by the police, did not disturb air traffic. During the morning, a hundred employees marched in peace in the parking lots of terminal 2E in Roissy, to the sound of a fanfare and closely supervised by police officers. They were waiting to be joined by another hundred demonstrators gathered elsewhere.

Several of them were, however, fined for "obstructing the operation of the airport" and "unjustified presence at the airport", following a prefectural decree.

They were fined 135 euros.

“This is the management's means of having a social dialogue.

It is filing and intimidation, we are going to challenge, ”lambasted Yoan S., 43 years old, including 15 years with the ADP firefighters.

New strike notice on July 9

Three unions - Unsa, CGT and CFE-CGC - are calling for a strike until Monday to obtain the withdrawal of an adaptation plan for employment contracts (PACT), which provides for a reduction or elimination of bonuses.

In case of refusal, employees risk dismissal.

The members of the management “make us look like privileged.

I have 1,680 euros of basic salary, so the bonuses are our salary, ”added Yoan S., who refuses to lose up to“ 300 euros ”per month.

Air traffic did not register any disruption on Saturday, an airport source said.

In Orly, a few dozen employees gathered for a general assembly, she said.

Negotiations between management and the unions have been suspended and are due to resume on Monday.

The Unsa also filed a new strike notice for July 9.

Management ensures that the PACT is necessary to achieve savings, while the pandemic has weighed down the activity of ADP, which is mainly owned by the state. A collective contractual termination agreement (RCC) was already signed in December, providing for 1,150 employee departures in 2021, including 700 not replaced. Even if air traffic is picking up steam at Roissy and Orly with the start of holiday departures, it remains well below its pre-crisis level, with 100,000 passengers per day against 200,000 previously.
