While the strike at Radio France entered its 56th day on Monday, the management is negotiating with four unions to open an alternative procedure to the voluntary departure plan.

Four unions (CFDT, UNSA, FO and SNJ) on six validated Friday the opening of negotiations on a collective agreement rupture (RCC), while the antennas continued to be very slightly disturbed.

"A real step forward"

An RCC would allow public radio to separate employees on a voluntary basis, in particular employees at the end of their careers, before rehiring young people in certain positions.

"This is a real step forward," welcomed the management of Radio France. "With a majority of unions around the table, we are opening a parenthesis to give us time to work on a peacefully negotiated agreement."

The four unions represented a majority of the votes in the last professional elections (64% according to management). The South unions and CGT (the latter being the only one to continue the call for an unlimited strike) have not yet approved this approach.

60 million euros in savings planned

The unions are still asking, above all, to negotiate a reduction in the number of job cuts. The plan presented by the management of Radio France provides for 60 million euros in savings and 299 job cuts (with 76 job creations in parallel).

If no agreement around an RCC is found, the management of Radio France may revert to the formula of the voluntary departure plan.
