Negotiations to Begin
Jean-François Knepper, the union’s central delegate at Airbus, said the figure released by his management on Tuesday June 30, 2020 should be discussed again. He is already ready to negotiate with his management.
Our proposals are likely to protect employment through, in particular, long-term partial activity or even through training systems. We will also propose to give a future to the youth of this country, in particular, to all those who are coming to the end of their training course and who were preparing to enter the job market.
For this, the majority union wants that for two departures in the Airbus group, there is at least one hiring.
Negotiations between management and union organizations must begin Monday, July 6, 2020.
