The end of transport and meal allowances, replaced by “restaurant tickets”, and the abolition of the thirteenth month for those who earn more than 2.5 times the minimum wage. This is provided for in the collective performance agreement (APC) which is to come into force at Derichebourg Aeronautics Services, an Airbus subcontractor plunged into difficulty by the health crisis. Without this APC, the management brandished the threat of a social plan leaving on the floor 700 of the 1,600 employees of the company who work for 1,400 of them in Toulouse.

"We chose to save jobs," says Eric Fabre, FO general secretary of the CSE, signatory to the agreement as the majority union and whose blank check makes the APC possible.

"The effort only weighs on the employees"

But this validation causes a fracture in the ranks of the employees whose coordination has been manifesting for several days in front of the company in Blagnac alongside Unsa and the CFE-CGC.

They were 200 to 300 still gathered this Friday morning. "We denounce the loss of social benefits which was decided in a hurry while a plan of aid of 15 billion euros was presented Tuesday [by the government]", indignant a representative of the Unsa . "The CFE-CGC will not sign this agreement, we have not had any real negotiations and the effort weighs only on the employees", deplores its representative, Carine Adam.

On strike since Tuesday, employees hostile to the APC must decide later on what to do with their movement.
