Grounded.

The inter-union staff of Paris airports, affected by a strike Thursday, called Friday to "strengthen and expand the movement" by launching a new strike "from July 1", just before the big departures on vacation.

On Thursday, a staff strike demanding wage increases affected Paris-Charles De Gaulle airport in particular, causing the cancellation of around a hundred flights in the morning, around a quarter of the scheduled program, and delays ranging from 30 to 45 minutes on average for others.

Le Bourget also concerned

“Gathered in a general assembly on Friday June 10, the representatives of the strikers call to strengthen and broaden the movement by going to meet the employees to prepare the next action initiatives: strike from July 1, 2022 “, Indicates an inter-union leaflet of which the AFP had a copy.

“It was decided to continue the movement,” Tayeb Khouira, a member of the national office of the Sud-Aérien union, told AFP.

The call also concerns Le Bourget airport and must be "inter-union and inter-professional", with in particular an appeal to the employees of the many subcontractors operating on the airport platforms, indicated another union source.

A spokeswoman for manager ADP said she was not aware of a new strike call, but said wage negotiations were scheduled for June 14.

A thousand demonstrators in Roissy on Thursday

At the call of seven trade union organizations (CGT, FO, CFDT, CFTC, CFE-CGC, Unsa and SUD), around a thousand demonstrators according to the organizers demonstrated Thursday in Roissy in support of the demand made by the unions of 300 euros increase for all employees working there.

This day constituted "a first step in the construction of a balance of power to obtain satisfaction on this claim", underlines the inter-union leaflet.

On the ADP side, according to a union source, management has so far proposed a 0.5% salary increase.

Air traffic, which had collapsed under the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, has restarted and is expected to reach up to 95% of its 2019 level this summer, according to Eurocontrol.
