Participation in professional elections has continued to decline for ten years in the public service, falling for the first time below the 50% mark in 2018 (49.8%).

"

Among the 2.2 million voters, there are 106,000 blank or invalid votes

," said the DGAFP.

In addition to the disaffection of voters, the other great lesson of the election is the decline of the CFDT, the first French union, to 3rd place in the civil service.

The organization is overtaken by FO for less than 3000 votes.

Force Ouvrière is benefiting in particular from its very clear progression in the hospital public service (+1.9 points to 26.6%).

The union also consolidated its first place in the state civil service (+0.7 point to 17.8%).

"Lucidity"

Down 0.5 points compared to 2018 with an erosion in the state and territorial public functions, "

the CFDT gives up second place for around 0.05% of the votes of the electorate

", conceded the union.

Four years after having supplanted the CGT as the first national union (public and private combined), "

these results will call for an in-depth analysis in the coming days to enable the CFDT to respond even better to the expectations of members and colleagues

", continues the central. directed by Laurent Berger.

If it retains its first place, the CGT sees its score drop by 1.1 points compared to 2018. As of Wednesday, the Montreuil central had promised to analyze "

lucidly

" the results of the professional elections and to continue "

the construction of a trade unionism (...) in line with the concerns and demands of the staff

".

Unlike the CFDT and the CGT, the results of the Unsa (fourth with 11.7% of the votes), the FSU (5th with 9.2%) and the CFE-CGC (7th with 3 9%) progress, which allows the latter to overtake the FA-FP, demoted to eighth place with 3.1% of the vote.

Solidaires retains its 6th place with 5.7% of the vote.
