“Twork less to earn more. » This, according to an air traffic controller, is what the SNCTA managed to obtain after having filed a strike notice for the day of Thursday, April 25, which was finally lifted at the last minute.

This Sunday, April 28, The echoes reveal the content of this agreement, despite the confidentiality instructions given when signing it.
Almost all of the SNCTA's demands were granted. First, there is the one on remuneration.

The union, on the other hand, accepted the generalization of badge machines and time clocks, as well as the elimination of the practice of “clearances”, unjustified absences granted when visitors permits. In return, he requested for the potential of authorizing staggered “climbs” and early departures of as much as three hours. Here too, the DGAC gave in.
Finally, the SNCTA obtained, along with thirty-nine days of depart, eighteen extra days of restoration for room controllers and 6 for workplace workers. However, eight of those extra days shall be positioned in a time financial savings account no sooner than January 2025, and shall be usable for early retirement earlier than age 59. These extra days shall be compensated for by the disappearance of “clearances”, hopes the DGAC.
The General Directorate of Civil Aviation should now signal this settlement with at the least one different union as a way to validate this undertaking, affecting different classes of workers. Something which won’t essentially be straightforward, these concessions would already be the reason for inside discontent.
