The first meeting dealing with the negotiation of Long Term Partial Unemployment (LTPU) took place yesterday.
Terms of application of the LTPU proposed by the management :
- Agreement valid for a period of 2 or 3 years, knowing that the LTPU is managed by semester and can be applied for a maximum of 4 semesters over a total period of 36 months
- Start of implementation of the LTPU: January 2021. The PU currently in place would therefore be extended until the end of December 2020 (under current conditions, ie 92% of net salary) to link up with the LTPU
- LTPU compensation: 84% of net salary (this point being negotiable)
- The management does not wish to apply the LTPU to all sectors, and wants to size the device taking into account the industrial needs of the A320
- Considering the adaptability of production professions, the sectors concerned by the LTPU would be limited to workshops (A320, A330 / A350), that is to say all blue-collar workers, as well as « certain white-collar workers » whose activity is linked to these sectors
- The partial activity rate in these sectors would be 15% to 20%
- 2 other negotiation meetings are scheduled for August 31st and September 8th.
For FO, the scope of application of LTPU proposed by management is clearly too restrictive. This system, encouraged by the French State, and whose implementation is claimed by FO, is capable of absorbing on its own the problems of underload of work that AIRBUS has been facing since the start of the health crisis.
5 months after the start of this global crisis, AIRBUS continues to resist in a market which has enabled it to book 300 aircraft orders since January and which will allow it to deliver nearly 500 aircraft by the end of 2020. If we compare to the year 2019 in which AIRBUS delivered 820 aircraft, we can see that the drop in workload has stabilized at -40% to date.
If we add to this LTPU device:
- on the one hand, the possibilities offered by the Early Cessation of Activity Scheme (DCAA) which allows employees at the end of their career to exercise their right to retirement,
- on the other hand, the opportunities for voluntary departures, the principle of which FO confirmed by agreement on July 22nd, 2020, and for which we are working to enhance social measures, then FO affirm that this social plan can be concluded without social breakage.
Therefore FO claims the generalization of the LTPU system.
In these troubled times, let us show solidarity and do not pit employees against each other. We will need everyone to come out on top of this crisis.
The generalization of the LTPU will allow AIRBUS both to protect its jobs during the time that the pandemic will last, but also to start giving work back to the subcontracting chain which is suffering terribly financially and from which we will have absolutely need the recovery.
